Paper bags, old newspapers, fabric scraps -- you're probably already using them for eco-friendly gift wrap. But did you know you could create beautiful bows from the pages of our magazine?
You'll need a page per bow (best if mostly one color) and some double-sided tape.
Cut the page lengthwise into nine 3/4-inch-thick strips of heights shown: Three at 11 inches, three at 10 inches, two at 9 inches, and one at 3 1/2 inches.
Twist each strip to form loops at both ends. Make a circle out of the smallest.
Secure the ends with a piece of double-sided tape.
Layer and stick, starting with the longest strips. End with the circle in the center.
cool and crafty! If I did it, it would be totally gay! Fuck it I will do it anyway :)
