how do u make the bow?????

Jun 20, 2011. 11:45 PMcmd109 says:

simple. You need a paper clip, tape, and rubber band. Just bend the paper clip into a bow shape and either make hooks for the rubber band or hot glue it on. Then , using the tape enforce the bow by wrapping tape around it. :)

You should fill the straw with quick setting clay or hot glue. Nice job though. :)
