In this part of the tutorial we finish off the bow by painting the details, adding the string, and making the arrow.

Part 1 of this tutorial with the video is here

Use a marker or a pencil and accentuate the embossed wings. This is optional.

Now use a marker to add a few details to the length of the bow. You can see how I did this by looking at the picture that comes with the template. It adds a little bit of structural depth to the bow.

Now we do the handle. I started with a brown marker and made this pattern in it. Looks pretty good. Notice how a lot of the lines are actually crescent shaped. This gives it a more rounded feel. You can also emboss this first before you do the marker.

Now to finish the handle we do a little bit of highlighting. In one corner of each diamond I put a dab of white paint. And in the opposite corner of each diamond I used a pencil to add a dark patch.

Now add the string by putting a hole in each end of the bow like you see here. String it up, pull it taut and knot it.

Now let's make the arrow. I give you the arrow head and the feather piece in the template. You can trace these onto foamboard and cut them out.

Then glue them onto your dowel. I used a thirty six inch long dowel that is a quarter inch wide. Paint it all gold once the glue dries.

That's it! Your elven bow is done! Send me a picture!
