Here is Sandy's Tutorial on MFPSpeedyTV

Hi everyone, I have an easy tutorial for you today. To check out the step by step pictures and instructions, please click on the link right above.

So here is my cookie container. I wanted to do a winter theme one because some of my friends are not into the whole red and green, santas and reindeers. This is a perfect color scheme for anyone.



I decorated the lid and added a cue tag that I can put their name on.


Instead of pattern paper, I decided to make my own

 Today's challenge is to make a DIY Bow. (If you prefer, you could make a Birthday Bow! That way you could use it year round!)
Here is a link to Sandy's Tutorial on MFPSpeedyTV.

Hi everyone, Sandy here and I want to thank you for hopping along. So here is my bow that I did for this tutorial. I have been making these for years! For step by step pictures of this bow, please check out the link right above for my tutorial. Hope you play along!

Misc. tips:

• Using copier paper makes it easier to form figure 8 loops, so you want to use a light weight paper.
• You can use magazine, newspapers and gift wrap to make your bows.
• Instead of adhesive you can use a stapler to fasten loops together. Score tape is another favorite of mine, especially if the paper is heavier.
