Put A bow on it! D.I.Y.: Bow wall decor!

Alright folks, I tried to break this down as simple as possible. I am a very un-technical person in the fact that I don't really use a ruler for anything other than a straight edge- and thats only on occasion. Nor do I use recipes in the kitchen. Well, my point is- I made this bow in about 10 minutes without much thought and decided to go back and figure out how I made it the 1st time so I could do it again, and be able to show all of you! :D This is often how I approach my lessons with my students too.... Backwards design. Whatever works! 

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part :)

I found the center of this paper. (It is about 36'x48' white drawing paper) I found the center by folding it in half and went out about 3 inches or on either side of the center fold line. Thats what the blue lines represent- this will be the center of your bow.
Picture
I cut up about 8 inches on either side of the paper (repeat on other side). In the next step you will connect the two sides.
Picture
Fold & tape together (or glue).
Picture
Fold on angle- right to corner.
Picture
Another view of step 4, repeat on all four corners of your bow!

Picture
Now you take your outside corner and fold inward, to match perfectly with the center edge of your bow. Repeat on all 4 corners.
Picture
repeat step 5 on all 4 corners and tape/glue down.
Picture
Add glitter and decorate! Also, depending on the look you are going for you could stuff tissue paper inside to give it more dimension- however, I was going for a geometric look.
Picture
I used it as decoration for our NYE party but it could really work for many things!
I will do another post with the other decorations I made for our NYE celebration. I know these are late. But don't they say better late, than never. 

xoxo,
Court
