STEP BY STEP:
Step 1:
Cut a thin strip (about an 1/8th of an inch) from the wax sheet. I used a book edge to get a perfectly straight line, but you could use a ruler or anything around the house.
Step 2:
Take you skinny strip and cut a 3 inch piece and two 1 inch pieces. You will have 4 pieces total, with a longer piece left over.
Step 3:
Take the 3 inch piece of wax and fold both of the ends in together, once the edges meet, pinch the wax together creating a loop on either sides of your fingers. This will be the main form of the bow. I used a chopstick to make the loop hold its shape and prevent it from going flat.
Step 4:
Take the long strip you have and wrap it around one starting on the wax seam, you will have a long tail that needs to be trimmed down, but you will want to leave enough to create a pocket for the bow tails.
Step 5:
Take the two one inch pieces and trim one end at a diagonal to mirror ribbon. Then take the untrimmed edge and pinch them together creating a V shape. The warmth of your hand should be enough to soften up the wax and have it stick together.
Step 6:
Insert the v shape in the pocket you have created and fold down the tail to finish off the bow.
