How to make a Gift Bow

Here are the instructions I promised for the gift bow featured in my last post. Sorry for the delay, I've been busy making inaugural plans (Yay!) and juggling my other projects. 

The nice thing about this project is that you can use whatever material you like, not just newspaper, which was brought to my attention by a reader (see 1/05/09 comments). My initial intent, as in many of my projects, was to find a creative way to recycle materials around my apartment. Enjoy!
