what kind of adhesive you use? if you use flexible adhesive it'll be more easier to fold...i've found that heat and bond becomes difficult to fold when you add on many layers.
someone asked about how wide my bows are a while back ago and I haven't gotten back to you, heres a pic of one of my bows with a ruler to give you a better idea how wide they are :)
good luck at tryouts, i hope you make one of the teams! i'll remember your face, so if i see you around on the islands, i'll give you a proper island greeting...lol
I didn't know ya'll could tag people on this thing..lol..how'd you do that? any ways for a 3" bow i usually start off with 27" and for the loops i make it around 4". Most of the time i just eyeball everything unless i make bulk orders, then i actually measure everything for uniformity.
