This style Pull Bow is on a roll. Every 18 loops it automatically stops. To remove it from the roll, you simply cut into the next loop. This starts a new bow. You then have the option of tying the strings into a knot to keep it from coming undone or placing a Stickerdoodle over top of the strings to keep it locked. Remove waxed paper backing and adhere it to the gift. Takes 15 seconds.
