Drawing of a Bow
Knowing how to draw a bow, especially one that has some form to it so it doesn’t look flat, can come in handy for all kinds of reasons.
Have you ever wanted a package to look nice, but couldn’t add a real bow? Then adding a quick one with a marker and crayon can be the perfect substitute. That package that goes in the mail, or school poster or birthday present can have an instant festive look if you just add a pretty drawing of a bow to a plain paper wrapped gift.
Better yet, use some recycled paper and it can even be a great way to be an eco-friendly too. You’ll be cutting down on the single use variety, and creating a gift with a homemade look instead. And that never goes out of style.
