you'll need:
glue. felt. clip. trim edges with pinking shears if wanted.

(If you MUST know, my felt was 4"x2.5" for the big piece, small piece 1"x2.5")
smoosh. glue.
smoosh, glue other side.
glue strip down. wrap around.
glue. more.
add clip. glue more.
all done.

Well your bow making tutorial is really helpful for me to prepare those with myself...your effort is really admirable.. :)
The bow is really looking very very good at the finishing end...I am so pleased that you made us to make the bow prepared so easily...simply an excellent sharing.. :)
I wonder why would so much glue is used in making these good looking bows...there should be some other substitute too besides glue!
Love these bows! I put a link to them here: http://teenbabyspot.wordpress.com/
