Scrapbooking Supplies

I don't know about you but I really enjoy making my own cards, gifts bags, tree ornaments and this year my own Christmas bows. So lets get started!

Supplies: Double Sided Patterned Paper or Cardstock measuring at least 6" x 12", 3 brads, paper piercer, strong adhesive and a trimmer.

1. Cut your 7"x 12" cardstock into  (8) 1"x6" strips, next cut (4) 1'' x5'' strips, then cut (1) strip 1''x4'' all together you should have 13 strips.

2. Add adhesive to the end of each strip A sided facing up (this is the side of the paper you want to be your design) then  wrap the (8) 1' x6" and (4) 1''x 5" strips as shown in the picture below.

3.Wrap the (1) 1"x4" strips as shown in the picture below.

4. Next, using your paper piercer punch a hole in  the wrapped strips then using a brad attach the petal together it should like this.

5. Now we are ready to assemble the pieces, place a glue dot in the center of each layer then stack each layer make sure you alternate the layer as you go.

Now you have a finished bow, that will add a a personalized touch to you gift giving this year.
