Yippee skippee!.
This one should start off about 8 inches long and again 6 or 7 inches wide.Fold your sides in and iron them just like you did with the first longer strip.
This will be the piece that holds everything together!.Now pinch your bow!.Wrap your mini strip around the front of your bow and secure it in the back with a few dabs of hot glue.. Fluff it up a bit so it looks all perky and cheerful.
This is really easy because all those folded layers of fabric really give this bow a nice weight.. Now trim the ends of your tails so they look pretty.. You could probably leave your ends like this and it would be fine, but I folded mine over about a 1/2 inch and secured them with more hot glue..I really love the look of this bow!
I could see this little trick coming in handy for all kinds of things like gift wrapping, party decorations, or Easter baskets!.
Hope you liked this one!I keep rolls of paper in one side and a big gift bag filled with other gift bags and tissue paper in the other side.
You could even secure it to the wall if you wanted to, but I found it wasn’t necessary at all for me.. I’ve been looking for a good way to store my gift wrap for years and finally I’ve found something that looks good (if you love all that rustic wood, and I do), and is totally functional.Even though the only rolls of paper I usually have on hand are for Christmas, I think they’re pretty and I like to keep them out in plain view all year so I can enjoy their cuteness..
Yes, this back hall/storage area still has weird purpley paint and dark brown baseboards, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have cute storage.. And, don’t go thinking this idea is just for wrapping paper.Just think of the possibilities!
