Paper Bows


So nice of you to stop by today!

I've got another idea to turn this
old, blah magazine into a Tada!:

The pages of this magazine are thicker
than a regular glossy.

So I took a black marker & drew a bow on the page.

Then I cut around it.

TADA! I used it in place of a 3-D bow
as a finishing touch to a present!

A small ribbon with multiple bows for a tiny gift.

Or a bigger bow for a hefty present.
The possibilities are endless!

  3. I've enjoyed your magazine cut-out ideas! I'll have to show my boys. My younger one loves to cut out things from magazines. At my parents he cuts out cats. At our place he cuts out ransom notes. Haha! he learned it from The Fantastic Mr. Fox.

  11. I just found this today through Pinterest. What a clever and attractive (not to mention recycled and inexpensive) idea. I think this is perfect for a man's present! I have a hard time hitting the spot between too girly and not festive enough, but this does it. - Carmen
