One of my favorite parts about the holiday is wrapping and decorating presents. I pretty much enjoy wrapping presents as much as I love giving the gift!
The little boys at Christmas even voted my gift the prettiest one of them all.
Here are a few tricks up my sleeve for how to make your present sparkle and stand out.
How to Make a Flower Bow
You'll need...
- One large sheet of tissue paper
-string
-scissors
First: Take your large sheet of tissue paper and cut them into equal sized strips. I usually make four or give long strips out of one large piece of tissue paper.

| Drinking a glass of wine during arts and crafts time is a must ;) |
Second: Fold tissue paper back and forth ( a little over under action) to make it in the shape of a fan.
Third: Tie off the center with string.
Fourth: Take your scissors and cut the two ends of your paper. Round them into the shape of a petal.
Last: Slowly pull each piece of tissue paper away. It's best to do it one at a time.
