Felt Gift Bows
Last year Jacinda whipped up some beautiful DIY Magazine Gift Bows from a tute she found at How About Orange. I loved them so much, this year I thought I'd try to make a few out of felt.
Fun last minute wrapping trick, and it only took ten minutes to make three of them.
Find out How to Make A Felt Gift Bow after the jump...

DIY Felt Gift Bows
Start by cutting your felt. For each bow you'll need:
Cut three strips of felt 9" long by 3/4" wide.
Cut three strips 8" long by 3/4" wide.
Cut two strips 7" long by 3/4" wide.
Cut one strip 3" long by 3/4" wide.
Twist each strip into a loop and glue it together in the center.
Repeat on all strips. Make the smallest strip into a circle and glue.
Layer the three long (9") loops and evenly space them, glue together.
Add the next three shorter (8") loops evenly spaced and glue together.
Add the next two shorter (7") loops and glue.
Glue the circle in the center.
Try mixing up some colors.
Place on gift. Done!
Thanks for the inspiration How About Orange!

I've emailed you some pics of my work in progress!
Have I been in Texas too long or would this look ADORBS on a holiday headband?
Very cute, thanks for sharing. I'm just a plain wrapper, no bows and ribbon. Maybe I will try these.
Very cute! I cut 1/2 in strips and made one into a hair bow for my daughter! Thanks for the idea!

i just posted the same link today too! love wrapping gifts!
each package under my tree is getting a glizty glitter looking ribbon! So sprakly with the lights from the tree reflecting off of them!
HOWEVER....I am also running interferance with my 1 year old thinking the ribbons are handles...perfect for latching onto and dragging presents around the house. I've found several stacked in her room!:) ha!
can't wait to try this out!

Oh man! I am using these for every gift I wrap! Such a great way to make your present a little more personal!
These are so lovely and the perfect use for the left-over felt I have from the stockings I just finished...yes, that's right, it's very nearly the 23rd and I just finished them (sigh).
Oh this is just amazing! I LOVE LOVE them! Can't wait to make them and give to people!
I loved making the How About Orange bows - I love them in felt! Thanks for the idea.
I am going to start making these for next year! They are wonderful - LOVE THEM!
I think I will knit these strips for my home made knitted gifts! Perfect!
