Beauty and serenity is all around us, it lies in the forgotten, the hidden and the ignored - we
must look in the shadows and search if we are to be truly at ease in this world. Carly Johnson

Flower Bow Tutorial


As part of my upcycled xmas I'm going to make my own gift wrap accessories too.  Here's how to make these pretty flower bows - I made mine from the leftover squares that came out of the books I used to make book-clocks.  You will need paper, scissors and glue - thats it! 

I have since experimented with the number of petals and I have found that 9 is a good number but it entirely up to you as to how 'full' you want your flower to look.
You can upcycle old newspapers, magazines, and even junk mail too!
