Bags to Bows

I was wrapping a book this morning, and I thought, "I need a tiny bow".  And I don't have any.... It got me thinking of the bows I made out of chip bags before. 

Cheetos and Doritos bags...

I know this was for Eon's birthday, because of the date I posted it on Facebook. I could not find it on here. So I thought I would post it. The video that I linked in my post is no longer available. So, I went searching...... Searching..... Searching... UGH

This is the bag I used today.

Cut it open and washed the inside.

Cut about 800 little 3/4 inch strips 11 inches long. Well....  I didn't like the first one I made. At all. So I looked at the pictures of the ones I made before and I did it my own way. I cut the 11 inch strips in half. Fold each one in half, and using double sided tape, fasten down with right sides out. Did three of those. Then I cut three more one inch smaller. Same thing, then two more one inch smaller. Same thing. Then, I cut the middle piece about three inches? Taped it down in a circle and put it on top.

For the little bow, I cut three inch pieces and did the same as above but only cut the pieces a half inch shorter each time. Then for the middle piece I cut it an inch and a quarter. There's my little bow for Eons' book. 😚

And all of the bows. The one I did first is on the left. I don't like it. 

Now I have strips of chip and halls bags all over my desk. Ugggghhhhhhh.  But if I went out to buy a bag of bows it would cost $200 by the time I get out of the store. LoL
