I'm always excited to find good uses for old magazines and miscellaneous scrap papers. I was overjoyed when I found a tutorial for making your very own scrap paper bows.
A word from the wise. This project takes a couple of goes at it until you get it just right. Don't get discouraged! It gets a lot easier and a ton more fun as you get a few under your belt.

Instructions
-
1
Cut 9 strips of paper 3/4 inches thick.
Make 3 of them 9 inches long.
The next 3 should be 8 inches long.
The next 2 should be 7 inches long.
The very last one should be 3.5 inches long. -
2
Take one end and wrap the outside so that it touches roughly the middle of the inside and creates a pointy little loop, like so.
-
3
Do the same with the other side and staple it in the center. I found that the pointier you made the loop, the better the end result. Yes, this is a piece from a different bow. I need to spend less time chatting with my girlfriends, and more time taking pictures.
-
4
Do the same to all the strips, with the exception of the shortest one. Make that one a little circle, secured by a dab of glue.
-
5
Layer those loops, one on top of each other, securing each layer down with a dot of hot glue.
-
6
keep on layering until all loops are used. Glue the circle-loop down in the very center. Just like that, you're done!
