INSTRUCTIONS

To save the printable to your computer, hold your mouse over the printable and right click, then select 'save picture as'. Choose the highest setting on your printer.
Spray your printable with a matte spray sealer so that the ink won't run when you glue the printie. I have used different sprays over the years, and have found that they all do the job. You can purchase the sprays at most hobby shops or paint stores.

Bows and Trimmings

The extra trimmings on the gift bags and boxes make all the difference.

I am not at all skilled at making bows, but here are a place where you can learn from the experts.

make large bows

I came across a hint on the internet a few years ago, which suggested using unravelled bunka as decoration on gifts. It makes a very effective bow, I have used it here, but I can't take credit for the idea.
If you are the person who posted the clever 'bunka bow' idea, please let me know so that I can add a link to your website.
I can't find bunka in my area, but it dawned on me one day, that I can buy tassels at the dollar store. The tassels are made from bunka.

I have found that it is not difficult to cut or tear the 'real size 'curling ribbon into thin strips. I tie a few ribbons together with thin wire. The little fabric roses, that you can find at the dollar stores, look nice on top of a gift box. I was lucky find the foil bows, shown in the picture, at the dollar store.
I love the dollar store :- )
