#CricutExplore 3D Bow

I didn't realize Cricut offers a weekly free file. This week it's a 3D Bow 2 Layer bow with scallops. Way cute. Couldn't come at a better time. I used it to fancy up a gold foil DCWV storage box and it's exactly what it needed!

I almost purchased a 2-Layer bow die last year, but it was a bit pricey.  Now I have a free one to resize as needed! I'm glad I didn't get the die, don't get me wrong, I still love metal dies.

I used Scor-Tape to put the bow together and cut 1" strips of gold foil straps to adhere the finished bow.  Here's a close up of my fancy bow:

Inside of the box, I used gold tissue and a extra large gold doily, both purchased during Christmas sales.  I hope the recipient enjoys the gift.
