Draw several 2" wide lines on the paper using a pencil.
Join the strips together using Fevicol MR.
Start making a single petal of bow, glue the end to form a big loop.
Now twist the strip to make another petal, glue at the place where the strip intersects.
Repeat the above steps to make balance petals, you will notice that the petal is formed close to the previous petal. Glue it using Fevicol MR.
Keep making petals one after another.
NOTE: Every time you glue, press the join using your palm for few seconds and wait for few seconds for glue to bond with the paper before you make another petal.
Punch a hole in the middle of the lamp, where all strips are glued. The hole should be wide enough to let the plastic tube pass through. I punched using eyelet punch tool and later widen it using a screw driver.
Remember it is paper, so use low watt CFL or LED bulbs to light it up. And you are done :).
Enjoy your giant bow lamp.
When you reach the end of the strip, snip it using scissor and make sure the end is glued. Put some heavy object like a paper weight in the middle of the bow and wait for glue to dry for several minutes.

Insert the plastic tube through the hole
You have to remove the wire from the socket pin of the lighting arrangement so that you can insert that wire from inside the lamp and pull it outside though the plastic tube. After that you can reattach.
