Faux Leather box with Free Template



You see them everywhere, Etsy, Pinterest,Facebook but how are they made? Do you really need a cutting machine to make them? No. It would take the work out of cutting but they can be made at home by hand. Today I have a Free Template for you to make your own. They can be made from faux leatherr, fabric vinyl, or felt.




For todays project you will need
-Felt, Faux Leather,Material of your choice

-Hot Glue or E6000

-Free Template

-Clip or Headband



First, print out the template. I cut it with my Cricut so I didn’t have to print it out. Be sure to write what sizes go with what so you don't loose them after cutting. Each size is a double loop but if you only want a single layer keep the biggest for each set. Trace out your bow layers and cut. I didn't use the center piece because I lost it but it was easy to make with a rectangle, I trimmed it longer than I needed so I could just cut the extra after I was done. I don't cut the best by hand which is why I bought my cricut.







To make the loops, glue the outside of each loop to the middle and let it dry. If you are using E6000 it may take awhile, I used clothes pins to hold them closed while drying. I use hot glue for felt and E6000 for vinyl or faux leather.





Layer your bows together and before you glue the center glue headband or clip to keep it secure. That's it! I found some little hearts from the dollar tree to embellish my bows. You can use buttons, vinyl or ribbon on yours. Cant wait to see how they turn out! If you followed the tutorial and made a bow feel free to the the tag #hofd so I can see your projects.
