Create @majormumhacks ultimate bow decoration

These bows are the perfect decorations to elevate your Afternoon Tea. We love them and think they make a real statement piece. A big thank you to @majormumhacks for sharing this decorating tip!

Follow the below steps to make the bows:

Step by step guide

  • Use a square piece of tissue paper or napkin – sizes can vary, but think 10x10 inches or 15x15 inches
  • Fold 2 opposite corners, making a rectangle. Like below:
A square piece of pink tissue paper, with 2 of the edges folded into the middle of the square.
  • Fold the paper in half length ways, then fold in half again

  • Fold the left hand side of the paper diagonally down. You should use about a third of the paper. Then do the same for the right hand side
