Don and Skyler, The print is animal print tissue paper my wife ordered from her art supply house. You may be able to get it locally from Ben Franklin's or Michael's , both craft and art supply stores. If you can't find any I can send you some.
The easiest way that I found to deal with the tissue paper is to cut it into pieces about 8" -10" long. Cut along a stripe so you can blend and conceal the overlap when applier. I used watered down Elmers glue, size the bow and lay down a piece of the tissue. Once wet, the tissue tears real easily so you have to put it down carefully the first time and not try to move it. I have found that you will have to live with some wrinkles. Practice of something else to get the hang before you apply it to your bow. After it has dried, I covered the whole back with a thin layer of TBIII then when it dried, I added Tru-Oil over that.
If you have any more questions, please let me know and I'll try to answer them for you. Pat
Way to "Pass it on" Skyler. I'm sure your cousin will love it and you for your generosity! Good for you!
