DIY Life

One of my favorite aspects about giving gifts is the wrapping of the present, for me it is all about the presentation. There are many trinkets available in stores to adorn packages, but I often enjoy making my own bows to add more of a personal touch to a gift. Over the years I have evolved from making mere curly-cues with ribbon to creating massive bows out of ribbon I already have on hand.

Not only does the final product reflect more of the giver to the receiver but the ribbon can be easily recycled and used again and again in one form or another. The above video offers a simple method to make a large bow but it can easily be used for smaller bows or even fuller bows with more ribbon. Take a leap and give bow making a stab this year!
