A conservative agues would be half an hour. That is if you are using iron on vinyl to decorate you bow. However if you are simply constructing a bow expect it to take 10 minutes at the most.

How To Make A Bow Out Of Burlap

Step 1

Cut out a strip of burlap leaving a little room around the edge to fray. Remember to cut a v shape into each end for a little detail.

Step 2

Gently fray the edges of your burlap to create a vintage look, it will fray anyway this way you control the way it frays. If you want to add iron on vinyl to decorate your bow do it at this stage.

Step 3

Now lie the burlap flat and then fold the ends inwards into a U shape.
