In
gift wrap emergencies when you've got the present but need some
wrapping, here's an idea for turning a magazine page into a bow. There
may be better ways to stick this thing together, but I used what I had
on hand: staples and adhesive
glue dots. Double stick tape should work, too.
Cut
a magazine page lengthwise into 9 strips, 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.
Twist
each strip to form a loop at both ends and staple it in the center.
Shape the last, short strip into a circle and secure it with a glue dot.
Layer
the 3 longest pieces on top of each other, spacing them evenly and
securing each with a glue dot. Add the next two groups of pieces, doing
the same. And finally, stick the loop into the center.
