Recess DT Layouts (& some confessions!)...

As promised, here are the projects I created with this adorable kit! I was seriously under pressure to get something done before I left for vacation but I got lucky... this kit was one of those where you sit down and just pump out project after project (love when that happens!)... =)




***Confession*** I've never used a 12x12 transparency before.




***Confession*** I've don't know what to do with banners.





***Confession*** I know my ribbon is crooked.





***Confession*** I couldn't find anything with to paint those circles so I used a can of Red Bull WITH liquid in it (yeah, I was drinking it)... apparently I like to live dangerously. P.S. Shout out to SUE my friend who sent this to me!! =)





***Confession*** Dumb title, but I think mine are the cutest ;)

And finally... here is my trick that I am going to share with you today! In celebration of the upcoming holidays, here is an easy way to use some scraps and make the perfect gift bow!

To start, you will need:

8 - 10 Paper strips (I used (8) 1" strips)
Paper Cutter
Pencil
Ruler
Small Hole Punch
1 - 2 Brads
Glue Dots
... and a little patience! ;)

Step 1: Make marks (on the backside) of your strips where you want to hole punch them, there should be 3 (one on each end about 1/2" in and one in the center), use a ruler to line them up. Then Punch the holes out with your small hole punch.

Step 2: Loop the ends of your strip around and connect in the center like a figure eight. Secure with a brad, but don't fold the brad down, you'll repeat this process onto the same brad.

Step 2: As you repeat the process (and depending on how large you want your bow!) you may notice it easier to deal with smaller "bunches" ... for me, I prefer to make two separate "bunches" of 4 figure eights and then glue dot the two "bunches" together.

FINISHED PRODUCT: Fluff the bow however you would like it and you're done!!

Hope you enjoyed that and that you'll consider using it on some of your Holiday Gifts this year! =)
