DIY Wood Bow for Gifts

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!

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.

Step 10

Add the 5″ center circle piece.

Step 11

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