How to Turn a Magazine into a Gift Bow

by on Oct 14, 2009

All About Orange has posted a FABULOUS recycling how-to. Get this….they show us how to turn a page from a magazine into a lovely gift bow. And the best part is, it looks like a real bow! As you can probably guess, the supplies we’ll need to make them are minimal. 

  • rescue a magazine from the recycling bin
  • grab a stapler off your desk
  • seek out some glue dots (sticky back tape would probably work too, if you didn’t have the dots)
  • find your scissors and ruler or paper cutter

A long red and white paper ribbon and a graph with red bars.

For a detailed tute, head on over to All About Orange. (Check out the bow they made out of a city map of Chicago. Soooo cute too!)
