Pin It

1. Cut 9 strips of paper each being 3/4" wide.  (we used 12" x 12" card stock)

2. Leave 3 strips there original length. Cut 1" off three of the strips. Cut 2" off two of the strips and cut one strip to 2 3/4".

3. Loop each end of the strip into a figure 8 and attach to the center with a Craft Glue Dot to the side that you do not want showing on your bow. Repeat this step on your 8 longest pieces.  Attach a Glue Dot to the  end of the 2 3/4" strip and loop so that you have a circle.

4. Now begin attaching all of the pieces with Craft Glue Dots in a circle while aligning the centers. Use the next smallest size on the second layer and your smallest loops as a third layer.

5. Finally add your small paper circle in the center with a Craft Glue Dot, and your gift bow is done!
