Monday Challenge ~ Blue/White & Silver ~ By Jayne Loughlin
by Jayne & Caroline
 
 I’ve decided to show you how to make Gift Bows for this weeks challenge, They can then match your gift wrap exactly or co-ordinate your tree colours perhaps.
Items needed : Paper, glue dots or stapler, scissors, Trimmer
Instructions: Cut Paper strips lengthwise into 9 strips using the paper Trimmer,approx 9″ x 3/4″ wide. Leave 3 of the strips full length. Cut one inch off 3 of the strips. Cut two inches off 2 of the strips. Cut the last strip down to 3 1/2″ long.Â
Twist each strip to form a loop at both ends like a figure 8 shape (see photo below) and staple or glue each of the ends in the center. Shape the last, short strip into a ring shape and secure it with a glue dot or staple.
Start layering the pieces up starting with the largest pieces (see photo below for first layer)

What a nice finishing touch for a parcel, I have a few more to wrap so will make some to match my wrapping paper.
I always wondered how to make these - great tip, thanks Jayne!
Brilliant way to match the finishing touch on your gifts. These are lovely Jayne.
Ahhh! Always wondered how these were made! This is fab Jayne. Thanks for sharing x
I always thought you needed a special gadget to make these, off to have a go now, have you ever tried making them in ribon?
Forgot to say I love them lol.
