Any tips for using silk backing?

[Old Ways]

I stopped at Goodwill with my wife to see what I could find in silk/linen for a bow backing. Found a leopard print heavy silk dress in like new condition. Thought that might be a great natural looking camo pattern.

Anyway, how do I put it on the bow? Not sure what glue to use or how to fit it to the bow. Any help would be great. Thanks

Check out Jawge's web site. I believe there is a "how to" on there for silk backing. Basically you do it the same as with snake skins.    Pat

Next time your in a Goodwill/Salvation Army check out the silk tie's. I used Textite II on my board bow. The tie also gives it a unique design
