How cute is this? I think this gift bow idea is ingenious! For some reason I always have left over strips of wraping paper and now here's finaly a way to use it!
Thank you OhAmanda for this great idea!
First. Wrap a present. Piece o’cake.
Second. Find some leftover wrapping paper. (Usually the extra you cut off the end of the package…)
Third. Fold the two ends in so they meet in the middle..or overlap a little, apparently.

Fourth. Trim it to a good size. (This is subjective and just depends on the size of your gift. I kinda like to go overboard and make a giant bow that covers the whole box. But you coul make a little one, too.)
Fifth. Find the middle. Get ready to squeeze.
Sixth. Squeeze.
Seventh. Find another scrap of paper. Wrap it around the middle. (To keep the squeeze.)
Eighth. Tape together on back. Now set aside.
Ninth. Find more scraps. Cut into two equal strips…these will be the tails of your bow. So, try to make them proportionate to the bow. (This is something I do not always accomplish…)
