These coloured wafer paper sheets have been lovingly printed in our shop. And are ideal for making wafer paper bows.

Our template for our wafer bows has been printed on one of the wafer sides, and the colour or patten is printed on both. Which means all you have to do it cut out the template pieces on the sheet and assemble the bow.

Being double sided means that the colour is more concentrated, and your finished decorations will have coloured finishes on both sides. This is ideal when making bows so that the inside of the loops and back ides of the ribbons are also coloured or patterned.

HOW TO MAKE THE BOW:

• Cut out the template pieces
  
• Use a hand steamer to soften one of the bow loops, and fold over and stick the two ends together. Make sure you fold the bow so that the smooth side of the wafer is facing outwards.
  
• Use a very small amount of sugar glue to stick these loops down. If you use too much the paper will dissolve.
  
• Use the steam again to manipulate and shape the bow loop until you are happy with your loop. Then repeat the same process on the second loop.
  
• Use a small bit of sugar glue and stick the two bow loops together. 
  
• Steam the small rectangle piece of wafer and again manipulate to make the centre loop for the bow. Wrap it around the centre of the bow, sticking it down on the back of the bow with some more sugar glue.
  
• Steam the base ribbon parts of the bow and again shape to your liking.
  
• Pinch the top of the ribbon joins a little and stick them together, and then stick to the back of the bow.
  
• Steam the ribbons a little more until you are happy with the shape. You can also steam the bow loops and give them more movement as well.
  

Completed Bow Size: approx, 5.5 inches wide 

Please note: Due to the nature of wafer paper, the paper often can thinner and thicker in some areas across the sheet. So when block colours are printed, there can be slight variations in the overall colour in patches.  This is completely normal and is unnoticeable once your decorations are made.
