Got smallish chunks of wrapping paper you cannot use and no bows? Just make your own bow out of the chunk of scrap wrap!!! My friends loved it when I made mine.
1. Cut your scrap into 8 strips - 4 long and 4 a little shorter.
2. Tape all your strips into individual little rings.
- and cross one flat ring slightly over the other.
* This is what it will look like...
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 with the smaller rings.
9. Place your smaller bow on top of your larger bow.
9. Place your smaller bow on top of your larger bow.
10. Staple your two bows together (just once).
* This is what your bow will look like...

SO cute! I shouldn't have tossed so many scraps into the recycle bag. I'll have to try this out next time I wrap gifts up. =]
So after reading your latest posting, I made one! :) Too cute! Now my DH wants to know what I'm going to do with it. DUH! Thanks for the great idea!
Very cute, Carolyn. Thank you for sharing. :-)
I hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas and a blessed 2009!
Super cute idea. My mom and I always made our own bows when I was growing up, but you really can't find the ribbon or pins anymore so this is a great alternative. thanks for sharing & Merry Christmas!
I love this idea!!
