Activate your Puffy Bow layer and with your eraser erase the overhanging ends of the bow
DO NOT HIT DELETE OR THIS WILL ALSO DELETE THE BOTTOM OF THE BOW

You may find the bow overhangs your tube a little in which case use your eraser to carefully erase part of the bow. Set your Hardness to 100 to give it that hard edge

Position in the lower right corner and move to bottom layer
