A Flower And A Gift Bow Tutorial

  
Don't you just love learning a new technique that is fun and inexpensive that you can use on your pages and projects?   I found this one today on making crepe paper flowers.  Isn't the orange so pretty?  Take a look:

Or how about these cute bows that you can make out of the yellow pages of a phone book:

I don't know about you, but if I can use items around the home and repurpose them, it makes me feel good inside.

I am off to the dollar store to see if I can find some crepe paper sheets, not rolls to give this a whirl.  Have an awesome scrappy, crafty day!
