Since I am wrapping all my presents in brown paper thanks to my Pinterest obsession, I have been thinking of great ways to make them look good. My mom and sister are constantly making fun of my "boring" brown paper. What they don't know is that I am not finished wrapping yet. I have been looking at different ways to make the presents pop. I just haven't decided what to do yet. But, I know that when Christmas comes around everyone will comment on how amazing my presents are wrapped.
At least, that's my goal.
To help me achieve that goal, I have been getting a lot of ideas together from Pinterest. Today, I saw a pin that will change how I wrap presents forever. I will never buy a bow again. Instead, I will make them.
The directions are so simple as well.
Step 1: Cut the page lengthwise into nine 3/4-inch-thick strips of heights shown: Three at 11 inches, three at 10 inches, two at 9 inches, and one at 3 1/2 inches.
Step 2: Twist each strip to form loops at both ends. Make a circle out of the smallest.
Step 3: Secure the ends with a piece of double-sided tape.
Step 4: Layer and stick, starting with the longest strips. End with the circle in the center.
Tada! Now, you can make your own bows. I am obsessed. I've made more bows than I need.
