It is fairly easy to use a ready-made bow and maybe colorize it, but you still end up with the same shape, every time. Wouldn't you like to get more variety?
This script will generate slightly different shapes of a bow, and since it will use any picture tube you select, it will give you a lot of versatility. You can use any of the string picture tubes or rope picture tubes in the store. You can also try to use other tubes like pipe cleaners or garlands for different effects. The zip file will also include one greyscale string picture tube for you to use.

As a sample for this script, I ran it and used three different metallic rope tubes. You get three bows, about 800-900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.

Metallic ropes are common staples during the holiday season, whether it is to hold a tag, tie a gift or wrap around the railing. This week, you can get 20 different ropes (10 colors in gold and silver) that you can use with any kind of project.
As a sample, I created some basic holiday felt shapes, outlined with that metallic rope. You can do what you want with those shapes, like decorating them or use them as-is on your project.
These tubes allow you to draw twisted ropes in any shape or length that you need in your project. No need to wait for someone to have one extracted that is exactly what you wanted. You can do it yourself.
For a sampler, I created this fun frame. I made the shapes with the Pen tool, and on that path, I ran the Vector Tube script using the sparkly gold twisted rope.
And here is your free sample. This set includes 3 PSD layered files with shadows in separate layers if you want to use them. They were all made with the Twisted Rope tubes.
