Don't throw away those magazines!

Be creative! Save money and recycle!

Let's get crafting!

Let's make a gift bow!

First,you will need:

• Scissors
• Small button or brad
• Felt (Optional)
• Something to make a small hole
• Thin wire

Now this is were the fun starts....

Cut (9)-1/2" strips of your favorite page from a magazine with regular scissors or one of those fancy edges...(I choose a Halloween theme,since it's almost that time)

See the black spider on top?

Place (1) Strip in your hand (The print you want to see needs to be facing down) Example: If one side is white and the other is orange and you want the bow to be orange then the orange side should be facing down...

Also,if want something on your strip to be on top like the spider example above ,make sure that it is the first one you loop..

Here's how you loop the first part!

Now let's do the other end.

Go under.....

Now we need to poke a hole threw the middle and put the wire threw the 2 holes of the button (or use a brad)

Insert it threw the hole!

Start  adding the rest of the strips the same way!

Once you have all the strips on, cut the wire to desired length and split apart.

Add your creative bow to any presents or you can cut the stem from a small pumpkin and hot glue it on the top..

Like this!

Hope you don't get addicted!!!!

I did!

You have just saved a little piece of Earth!

Thanks for recycling!
