Step 1 of 12

Get a random magazine that's just laying around.

Step 2 of 12

Flip to a random page & SLOWLY tear it out.

Step 3 of 12

Cut it into strips like this. They don't have to be exact. If ones a little wider than the rest, it's alright.

Step 4 of 12

Make a loop like this with all the strips, except the last one.

Step 5 of 12

Here's what they should all look like.

Step 6 of 12

Make the shortest one into a cuff.

Step 7 of 12

Get you first three, the biggest ones, and put them together like this. Tape the centers, so they'll be stuck together.

Step 8 of 12

Now add the next three.

Step 9 of 12

And the two after that. Your bow should look like this now.

Step 10 of 12

Now add your cuff to the middle!

Step 11 of 12

Yayy! You're done & you now have a pretty gift bow🎀
