create your own magazine bows

my goal this holiday season is to be as economical and green as possible. there comes a lot of waste with purchasing and wrapping gifts. i want people to know i thought of them in multiple ways. i was immediately inspired to take our piling up collection of old magazines and turn them into art by this amazing post from the DIY blog, How About Orange.
