recycled magazine bows
recycled packaging!
I am a magazine addict, if you remember from my magazine wreath project. They just keep coming in the mail. I read them, usually. And look at the pictures, of course. And then I stack them.
Stacks of magazines look really nice on a bookshelf. But there comes a point when there are too many stacks.
I saw this idea at How About Orange. So I made some of my own.
It's so fun! So I made more!
I might just never buy a premade bow again! This is my favorite, it's very wordy:
They even look good stuck on babies. Although they might make them all look like little girls, oops!
These are so pretty. I never would have thought to use my old magazines for this. Very creative!
ReplyDeleteMuch better than store bought bows! I, too, have bit of an issue (corny pun intended) with accumulating magazines. This'll be a perfect use for them!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute. I'm going to go check out the instructions for those.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you do to stick yours? Staples, brads, glue dots? Thx.
ReplyDeleteMost of your crafts intimidate me, but I just might try this one. It's so cute!
ReplyDeletepretty bows, and a great way to deal with extra reading material. Your son still looks like a boy, according to my daughter, otherwise it would be hot pink! no judging 6 year old logic!
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting.
Wonderful...WONDERFUL!! I am inspired to make my own bows out of Martha Stewart mags...lots of interesting photos of crafts I can't make w/o a staff. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I love the volume in those bows as well as your cleverness and the graphics. Pop over if you've time, I have a little giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThese look so perfect! And what a great way to recycle paper. I really want to try to make some for Christmas presents now! :)
