  Step 1

  Choose a page from a magazine that you want to use. I have used solid colored pages, ones with a ton of prints, etc. Have fun with it!

  What's on the other side matters too. You can see the words from the back of this one in the finished bow. I like the look, but it's something to consider.

• 

  Step 2

  Measure 9 strips that are 3/4" wide.

  I did this on the back so I could see the markings.

  I don't measure anymore, and they come out pretty well.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out the 9 strips.

• 

  Step 4

  I took this right from the blog because I don't want to screw it up.

  "Leave 3 of the strips full length. Cut one inch off 3 of the strips. Cut two inches off 2 of the strips. Cut the last strip down to 3 1/2" long."

• 

  Step 5

  Twist the loops at both ends to make these figure 8 looking pieces.

  Make the smallest strip into a circle.

  The blogger stapled her pieces in the middle, I used school glue that I had gotten free with coupons. I wanted a totally free project.

• 

  Step 6

  Layer the 3 longest pieces together and glue in the middle.

  Do the same for the next 3, and then the 2.

• 

  Step 7

  Now just put the pieces together in size order and glue. You're done!

  I hope this was fun and easy. :)
