Making a bow like this is
super easy and
fun to make.
You will Need:
Scissors or paper cutter
Hole puncher
Scrap paper
1 Brass plated round head paper fastener.
What to do:
Cut 3 strips of paper 10" long by 1 3/4" wide. No need to go crazy just make the 3 strips the same size.
Next cut 2 strips a little shorter about 9" long by 1 3/4 " wide.
Cut one more strip, 3" long by 1 3/4" wide.
You should have 6 strips in total. See photo 1 and 2.
Gently fold each strip so that the two ends overlap and
hole punch the strip right in the center. See photo 3 and 4. Do this for all the strips except the short 3" strip. For the 3"
strip, just hole punch the two ends together. See photo 5.
Start with the
3" strip. Form a loop and
connect it to the brass paper fastener. Then
add the two 9" strips and last add the three 10" strips. See photo 6 and 7.
That's it! All Done! Imagine using different types of paper and even fabric scraps!!! I really believe it is not all about what you give, it is also how you give it. The time, presentation and thought behind the gift is really the most important thing.
If you do make this gift bow project post a pic of your results on my

-Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!
