DIY Wrapping Paper Bows
DIY Wrapping Paper Bows
"I think it is safe to say that everyone loves receiving a beautifully wrapped present! About two years ago I learned a little tip that completely changed the way that I now wrap gifts. I now spend much less time and money, and I think my gifts turn out pretty cute! And I always get a few "Oooo's" and "Ahhh's" :) Check out https://adorethem.com/diy-wrapping-paper-bows/ for a step-by-step photo guide. Time: a few minutes Materials: wrapping paper, scissors, and tape Cost: less than a dollar"

Materials List
- wrapping paper
- scissors
- tape
Instructions
-
Purchase your wrapping paper
-
Wrap your presents
-
Cut a few long rectangles from your wrapping paper – use any scraps if possible
-
Fold the rectangles in half and tape the FOLDED side down in either the middle or corner of your present (wherever you want your bow)
-
If you like a full bow like I do, I recommend taping another folded rectangle for added bow volume. Overlap the folds slightly so that bows look like one giant piece
-
Focus on one folded rectangle at a time. Cut slits in the paper up to the tape
