Chic Bow

Chic Bow

Here’s a great way to make a fashion statement!

For a tie-on bow you will need: ✽ Length of ½-inch wide ribbon (for the small bow) or ¾-inch wide ribbon (for the large bow). The length depends on where you want to wear it (around your head, around your neck, around your ankle...) ✽ Another length of ribbon about 2 inches (for the small bow) or 3 inches (for the large bow) ✽ Glue or glue stick, double-sided tape and regular tape ✽ A complete Dazzle On A Bow model

For a barrette, you will need: ✽ Your model ✽ A craft barrette (2¼ inches or smaller for the small bow, about 3 inches for the large bow) instead of the length of ribbon ✽ A piece of card stock cut to ½ inch x 2 inches for the small bow and about ¾ inch x 3½ for the large bow ✽ Glue

To make a tie-on bow: 1. Flip the bow over and glue down the corners. 2. Separate the two triangular fl aps on the back of the bow and center your ribbon along the square. Apply a little glue or double-sided tape to the square and press your ribbon to it. 3. Close the two triangular folds over the ribbon and secure them with tape. Be sure there are no sticky edges to catch in your hair or on your skin. 4. If you like your bow as it is, stop here. If you want a more fi nished look, take your small piece of ribbon and wrap it around the center with the ends overlapping a little on the back. This makes a pretty band. Secure with tape.

Hint: Make it personal! Use contrasting colors. Try using different colored ribbon for the tie and the band. Instead of a band, glue on a paper circle, or use stickers. There are no rules!

To make the barrette: 1. Flip the bow over and glue down the corners. 2. Glue your piece of card stock to the back of the bow. This will make it stiffer so the barrette can stand up to wear. 3. Affi x the underside of the barrette to the card stock with glue. Be sure to let the glue dry completely before wearing or giving your bow barrette!

The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West” Most people are surprised to learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his fi rst love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions.

Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry. He later founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers.

Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.

With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission to publish fi ne books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.
