How to Create a Ribbon Loopy Bow with Extreme Adhesive Squares


This Sugar & Spice layout was created in hotel room with limited supplies and tools using scissors, paper trimmer, Bo Bunny Olivia Collection cardstock & embellishments and Glue Arts ribbon adhesive, extreme mini adhesive squares along with Glue Glider™ Pro and high tac adhesive.  This layout can be used as a sketch for creating simple layouts at crops or when you have limited supplies and tools at your disposal. The journaling area can be replaced with a title or a name.

Unroll the liner of extreme mini adhesive squares and position end of ribbon on 
top of square. Press lightly with finger to transfer adhesive to back side 
of ribbon, then remove from liner.

Make loop by matching two end of ribbon and sealing together with the mini 
extreme adhesive square attached in step 1.

Place ribbon loop back onto Glue Arts' extreme mini adhesive squares 
liner to add another square of adhesive to ribbon

Make another ribbon loop and place one on top of the other, attaching 
with the adhesive square applied in the previous step.

Create a total of 8 ribbon loops, stacking and angling each symmetrically, 
and using glue Arts' extreme mini adhesive squares to layer.

This bow was used as an accent on a scrapbook layout using double dot 
ribbon plus stickers & cardstock from the Olivia collection from Bo Bunny 
along with Glue Arts’ extreme mini adhesive squares, the Glue 
Glider™ Pro and high tac adhesive.

however, you can layer silk or paper die cut flowers or shorter ribbon 
strips on top to customize your own loopy ribbon bow simply by 
using your imagination and Glue Arts adhesives.
