| Paper Bows
The easiest and cheapest way to make bows are out of left over strips of wrapping paper.
Cut approx 6 strips of 1 or 2 centimetres wide and approx 15cm long, the longer the strip the bigger the bow.
Loop the first 2 ends together and hold with thumb and finger, then keep looping the other strips the same way making sure to hold firmly in your thumb and forefinger till all strips are used.
Poke a hole with a large safety pin or needle and pop in a large split pin or craft brad.
You can always use a stapler if you don't' have any of the brads and pop a sticker to cover when finished.
I made 2, 1cm strips and the other 2cm strips, separate then I popped them together for a fuller one.
