Who knew you could make a bow out of wood? We did! Our .010″ Thick Fleece Back sheets are so thin and flexible it’s easy to make a beautiful, natural bow for your gifts. Great idea for 5th Anniversary Wood Gifts!

wooden anniversary gift idea

We made a quick video to show you how we made the bow but if you are looking for more details read on below the video.

Below you will find step by step instructions on how to make a wooden bow for gifts and packages. We also used the Cherry .010″ Thick Short Grain Fleece Back 8.5″ x 11″ sheet but have other Fleece back options available.

Step 1

Start by choosing your wood specie. We recommend using our .010″ Fleece Back sheets for the best flexibility.

Choose Your Wood Specie

Step 2

Cut the wood into strips 1/2″ wide. You will need 6 pieces 11″ long, 2 pieces 10″ long and 1 piece 5″ long.

Cut wood into 1/2" wide strips

Step 3

Twist wood strips into a figure 8 and glue ends to backside of the middle of the wood stripe.

Step 4

Glue ends to backside of the middle of the wood stripe. We like Beacon’s 3-In-1 Glue. 

Glue ends to backside

Step 5

Use paperclips to hold wood in place while glue is drying. The glue dries pretty quickly.

Step 6

If there is glue where you don’t want it, when dry, rub with your fingers and it rolls into a ball and can be removed.

Step 7

They hold beautifully when the glue is dry.

Step 8

Start staking the 11″ pieces by alternating the direction.

Start stacking the pieces

Step 9

Then stack the 10″ pieces.

Stack the 10" pieces

Step 10

Add the 5″ center circle piece.

Step 11

It is done! Time to put it on your package!

Real Wood Paper Thickness/Backing Explained. Find Real Wood Paper Thickness/Backing Explained. Find out which one is right for your project.

FLEECE BACKED (.010″ thick)
is a very thin, sheer, flexible backing appropriate for dollhouse enthusiasts, candle wraps, lamp shades, envelope liners…anything where flexibility, luminosity and light-in-weight is a must. The backing material looks and feels similar to very thin vellum. It is also excellent for adhering to another material such as cardstock, wood, etc. (.010″ Thick = 10 PT/165 GSM)

PAPER BACKED (.016″ thick)
is slightly thicker than the Fleece backing. The paper backing has a texture and is excellent for adhering to other backing materials such as cardstock, wood, etc. This thickness is frequently used as wedding invitations that are glued to a larger sheet of cardstock backing. It has great flexibility for printing, textured backing to ‘grab’ adhesive and creates a beautiful, sturdy invitation, announcement, etc. (.016″ Thick = 16 PT/265 GSM)

WOOD BACKED (.025″ thick)
is very strong and sturdy yet still has the flexibility to run through laser printers using the straight feed feature. There is wood on both sides which is perfect for announcements, menus, invitations, programs and more. You get to see the beauty of the wood on both sides. (.025″ Thick = 25 PT/414 GSM)

Thanks So Much Wood Card! Did you know you can cut Thanks So Much Wood Card! Did you know you can cut our .010" thick Fleece Sheets with Die Cut Machines and Paper Punches? Yes you can! Although our thinnest sheets are called Fleece backed sheets, it's not actually fleece like in the fabric fleece. Think more like vellum. It's very thin, translucent, and sheer yet adds stability and flexibility to the wood. It truly is a unique product. www.RealWoodPaper.com
