Title: Little bendy girls bow
Post by: campx on October 20, 2012, 04:31:27 pm
Made this for my 7 year old, Maya.  Used a cant that I had cut off the side of a decent piece of elm, which is currently getting shaped into a 66" pyramid style......... anyways, back to the girly bow.  48" ntn, I can pull it to 28" without it blowing!  Backed it with a snazzy piece of Christmassy sparkly stuff.  A few air pockets under the ribbon, but what the heck.
Built my first string for this one;  3 pieces of sisal spun seperately with a cordless drill, for 5 seconds.  Then put them together and spun the opposite way for 5 seconds, then waxed........looks pretty good to me!
