Gift Bows Part II

Here's another idea for a gift bow using the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' Kit and a Kraft Gift Box.

To make this bow:

• Cut 3 1" strips of Designer Series Paper 8.5", 7", and 5.25"
• Use snail adhesive on one end of the two longer pieces.  Make circles with each of them.
• Cut flags in the ends of the shorter piece 
• use a 1" wide scrap to wrap around the middle of the bow
• I assembled the layers by stacking them together, wrapping the scrap piece around the middle, and punching a small hole in the center. I inserting an Antique Brad to hold them together, but you could use sticky strip or snail adhesive.

Gift Bows Part I

I love beautifully wrapped gifts and decorated packages.  The Kraft Gift Boxes are great little boxes for creating darling packages for your gifts.

My next 3 posts will show 3 different styles of bows that are so easy to make and, of course, pretty!  This little curved bow is super cute and feminine.

•  I drew a bow shape that I liked and then made a template
•  I scored my Designer Series Paper and folded it so I would have an even fold to cut the template out.
•  I used a temporary adhesive (dotto) to stick the template on the paper so it wouldn't shift while I cut it.
•  Once it's cut out, wrap the ends of the bow to the center and use snail adhesive to secure them.
•  Wrap a 1/2" wide scrap around the middle and secure with Snail adhesive
•  Cut flags at each end of the "ribbon tail"
•  Adhere the bow to the ribbon tail with Snail Adhesive

Tips:  I used the Mixed Medley stamp set and Versamark Ink to stamp the snow flakes on the box.  I wrapped a 12" x 3/4" strip around the box and it doesn't quite meet - I put the circle sticker (from the Merry Moments kit) in the center to cover the ends.
