Mother's Day is acomin' and there's wrapping to be done. Whether you're forking out for something fancy or handmaking something handsome it always looks better if the packaging is pretty.
That doesn't mean it has to cost the earth or make you feel guilty for not being green. You can make your own gift bows from old magazines and save the planet while still maintaining the pretty.
Craftster member Miss American Pie has posted a 'super easy' recycled gift bow tutorial which takes your once-read glossy magazines and turns them into gift bows galore. It'll make you look at your used mags in a whole different way as you pick out colourful ads and the celebs with the shiniest teeth for trimmings.
She ends her tutorial with this helpful hint. "WARNING: May cause serious addiction. Craft at your own risk." so don't tell me you haven't been warned when you Mum can't get to the present for all the fabulous bows you've fashioned to decorate the wrapping.
