  1. Supper cool!!!! I wish I had seen this earlier today, because this afternoon I spent a lot of money buying ribbon to make bows. I absolutely love your site, especially the diy. Thank you for sharing. :D

  2. I just printed the red bow! I’ve been wrapping gifts all day and I can’t wait to place this on one of the boxes. Thank you so much for your Friday Freebies. I love them. They’re also so stylish and well-designed!

  3. Hey! I LOVE bows- and this is super adorable. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering where you found the “A gift for you tag”? I love that tag. Is that a free printable here?
    thank you again for sharing.
    Merry Christmas

  4. I just stumbled onto your site via Pinterest and I love it.
    I am interested in making these paper bows out of preprinted scrapbook paper – I have loads of it that I need to use. What a wonderful way to re-purpose paper :)
    So, is there a way to print the template lines only onto my own paper?? I really do not need the yellow or red
    design to be printed (however it is super cute).
    Thanks in advance:)

    • You know what I did, as I had other paper I wanted to use too, was printed one of these designs on a card stock, then trimmed it and with a quick pencil marking around the shapes, used it as a template for my other paper. It worked great!
