a wooden gift bow is my fave
December 10, 2012YAMF Holiday Handmade is sponsored by Kollabora, the community for makers. 
You may have guessed this by now but wood veneer is my material of choice for this series. My most recent creation? A wooden gift bow.
To make your own you’ll need
- paper backed wood veneer sheets (like this)
- scissors or a paper cutter
- hot glue gun
Step One: Cut eleven strips of the veneer, about 10″ long and 3/4″ wide.
Step Two: Fold the ends over one another to create a loop, secure with hot glue. You can play with the sizes here. Make six larger ones, four slightly smaller ones and then leave one straight and cut a little triangle out of the end of it.
Step Three: Start layering to create a bow shape and secure with hot glue. If you can’t tell I wasn’t very precise, just played around until it looked good.
Step Four: Top a gift and make someone happy.
