Ode to the Value Pack of Gift Bows...

I feel kind of bad for the old school value pack of gift bows. Once the Gold Standard of polished gift wrapping-they have now fallen into the clearance bin shadows of baker's twine, washi tape, snazzy yarn and more clever packaging ideas. I, however, still believe gift bows can offer old school charm. I also adore the idea of using everyday, underappreciated items and imagining them into something wicked cute. With minimal physical effort. Come on, you know that's funny:)

Oh, Value Bag of Gift Bows, I love you so...

Create the world's easiest table runner with a piece of

fabric and add gift bows for adorable drama

cut fabric edges with scalloped scissors for an easy, inexpensive runner

animals crakers dipped into melted white chocolate

and then dunked into a pool of nonpareils

perfect for any party presentation

or a special afterschool snack with your chimps

 string gift bows for a bright, colorful garland

use gift bows to create a spectacular entrance
