Got too much time on your hands - make your own Xmas Present Bows !!

[lookoveryourshouldernow]

Hi...

Came across the following Youtube video - especially for those people that absolutely MUST HAVE co-ordinated bows to their wrapping paper ... at a fraction of the price of shop-bought stuff....

Might give it a whirl tomorrow as I wanted to make mini-bows for some presents this year... I guess I will scale down the measurements.

I am not sure what language it may be in as I have watched and studied the video without the sound but found it quite to easy to follow...

Great video but very time consuming! It's in Spanish btw.

Yep - you are right it is a long video but I thought that it would be useful... you can use your own ribbon or cut up strips of the same wrapping paper to make a bow to match etc etc

However - even more useful is the following video - which would be a good use for the thousands of "Fifty Shades of Grey" paperbacks languishing around - could save them from going to landfill or Charity Shops:

...but the video is quite long too - was going to say something else but I don't want to be taken to court for slander !!!!

You can't make Christmas trees out of 50 Shades... People will admire the tree and read it to see what book you used :)
