Made it Monday!
I am slowly piling up the gifts for the family and looking for interesting and cheap ways to wrap them. For my littlest niece I wanted a really big bow. Really big bows are pricey so I thought I would make one. From start to finish it took me 5 minutes and that was only because I had to figure out what I was going to do.
Here is the finished look! Classy and poofy; just my style!
Any guesses on what it is made of?
Coffee Filters. Yep. See, I told you it was practically free!
First you fold it in half and then fold it in a circle shape.
Tape the bottom with a little scotch tape.
Once you get three made go ahead and tape the bottoms together.
This is a look at the bottom with all the "3's" taped together.
Turn it over and tape it on! Nice and poofy! I love it! You could also use watered down craft paint and paint them first if you want colored bows. I might try that later.
