So, while wrapping holiday gifts, I experimented with a quick and easy bow out of gift wrap and thought I would share. Works great when all you have is wrap and no ribbon. I didn’t take a photo for each step because we were busy wrapping, so hopefully you will get the idea if you want to…

Take a rectangular scrap of wrapping paper and fold it in half so the fold is on the short length. Then cut every half inch or so up close to the fold.

Then curl each strip with scissors.

Should look similar to this when it’s all curled.

Then fold the center portion a couple of times and use it to secure the bow to the package with tape.

Voila!
