Handmade Bows

I watched a tutorial that Sara (Pink By Design) created using her Big Shot and Die for bows. I decided to attempt this on my own since I do not own either of those items. I simply cute a piece of 12X12 paper into 12 inch strips, then cut in half. I cut a slight angle at the end of the strips and then punched a hole on both sides of the strips with my Crop a dile. I folded the strips as directed and placed a brad in the middle. I loved the way the homemade bows turned out. I made a lot of them for all the presents under the tree.
