Crafturday Creative Mess 4 - Old newspaper to the rescue!

In gift wrap emergencies when you've got the present but need some wrapping, here's an idea for turning a magazine page or a news paper into gift wrap and a bow. There may be better ways to stick this thing together, but I used what I had on hand: glue. Double stick tape should work, too.

Supplies you will need:
News paper or magazine, Glue, Scissors and finally a gift to wrap :)

Instructions:

1.Cut a magazine page lengthwise into 9 strips, 3/4" wide. Leave 3 of the strips full length. Cut one inch off 3 of the strips. Cut two inches off 2 of the strips. Cut the last strip down to 3 1/2" long.

2.Twist each strip to form a loop at both ends and staple it in the center. Shape the last, short strip into a circle and secure it with a glue dot.

3.Layer the 3 longest pieces on top of each other, spacing them evenly and securing each with a glue dot. Add the next two groups of pieces, doing the same. And finally, stick the loop into the center.
