6. Paper Gift Bow

A paper gift bow is a clever way to make simple wrapping look special. Instead of buying a plastic bow, you can create one with strips of paper.

Cut paper into several strips, loop the ends toward the center, and glue them into bow loops. Layer the loops together and add a small strip in the middle. In just a few minutes, you have a handmade bow that looks cute on gift boxes, bags, or cards.
