being wound 99 for example is maintained such that the bow forms will not be in contact with each other this space is crucial since a progressive stress would ultimately build up at the band tie point 12 when an inner layer is wound under the outer layer of a bow because of the way two layers shift with respect to one another as they are rolled up however now that each bow form is cut free from the next bow form with each bow form being connected to the backing support material 60 at a connection point a spool of bow forms can be constructed continuously after production of a spool of bow forms the spool may be compactly and conveniently stored as each bow form is removed from the spool of bow forms the backing support material 60 can be severed at the open space 97 occurring between the bow form which is to be used and the next bow form on the spool the backing support material 60 may be provided with a plurality of holes 260 shown in fig3 so that the user may view the color and material of the bow on the spool 100 through one of the plurality of holes 260 in a preferred embodient of the present invention it has been found advantageous to provide the user with bow supports 45 with drawstring opening 46 through which the drawstring 41 may be pulled the curved shaped portion 47 of the bow support 45 which may be shaped in the form of a cup will also serve to force the first ribbon 1 and the second ribbon 21 which are pulled against the bow support 45 into.
