Yesterday I promised I would post something made out of paper from the clearance rack.I thought this was paper from the Razzle Dazzle but it is actually from the Level 3 Hostess set from last year. Oh well, the colors are similar and you can make this out of any paper. Check this out! It is a giant bow!
This bow is about 9 inches across! I love it. My goal was to do a trial run and then make some Christmas bows. Bow like this in the store can be 4 or 5 dollars. This is is approximately 2 dollars to make. It takes 2 full sheets of Designer Series Paper. I used the same process as any other hand made bow. I cut 8 strips at 2 inches across. The remaining paper was 8 x 12 inches. I cut one piece off of the bottom which was 2 x 8. The larger remaining piece was now 8 x 10. I cut 4 strips 2 inches wide and 10 inches long. From there you assemble like any other bow. I will do a tutorial at the end of the week to give you the step by step process.
I just love how this turned out! What a great way to use up some of my left over paper!
