This is how I make mine.

When I charge up camera I`ll do a tutorial on my blog.
The great thing about these bows is you can use pretty much any papers to create them.

I really like the bow she did on this parcel: http://craftingagreenworld.com/2009/12/13/share-your-recycled-gift-wrapping-masterpiece/ which is done in the same way but without looping it.0 -

I hope to have a go at making something similar to this for my grandaughters second birthday. I have just asked on freecycle for an old Wendy House Frame. I have posted a link here in case anyone likes the idea for a little one for next christmas, it's not as hard as it looks I'm sure.
That house is just adorable!!:T:T I wish I had someone small enough to make one for (only so I could play in it too:rotfl: )

:rolleyes:I bet its a knitting one huh? lol:rolleyes:
I love to do anything but knit, think I am going to clear my table today and do some wrapping paper stamping in standard size sheets so that they are ready for presents and things. Then after doing the washing (boooo) I might get on and do some christmas cards and actually put them away for christmas.
Have a good Saturday everyone
