Pull Bow's?

Has anyone used/bought pull bow's? I've seen them on e-bay & they look like a cheap way to decorate the chairs for the service, but they look to come flat packed - does anyone know how they work? & how easy they are to use?
thanks

    I use them for nappy cakes and they flummoxed me at first lol - but it's easy, you just pull the two inner strings out and they pop into shape by themselves really.

    Some of the guys on the nappy cake thread make their own bows so it may be worth asking there.

    Pull bows are a wonderful invention and I use them for my nappy cakes, everyones always asking how I get my bows so perfect!!
