This past weekend Bob's super cute nephew was baptized. I realized the night before that we didn't have any gift wrap and luckily remembered a great gift bow tutorial I saw over on How About Orange.
The tutorial gives instructions for how to make a bow out of magazine pages. Full instructions available here.
(Photos by How About Orange)I had some cute polka dot fabric left over from a shirt I had made awhile ago and decided to use that instead. I cut out the fabric strips using my new pinking shears so the ends didn't fray, then sprayed it with a little bit of fabric stabilizer to prevent the bow from wilting.
Here is what I ended up with:
The bow is really quick and easy to make, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. And since I'm a fan of shameless self-promotion, the newspaper page I used advertises the Pitchfork Music Festival which Bob works for. The lineup is awesome so everyone should come visit me this summer and attend!
