Homemade gift bows

I am making all my own bows/tags etc this year. I have decided to use brown paper and string and pretty the packages up with bows and tags. These are a couple that I have made so far.

I keep meaning to do this every year, I need some nice ribbon and a tutorial though and I can never be bothered to look for the tutorial

I am also going to make bows out of magazines http://savingthefamilymoney.com/homemad ... ally-free/
