Cut 9 strips of paper 3/4 inches
thick.
-
Make 3 of them 9 inches long.
-
The next 3 should be 8 inches
long.
-
The next 2 should be 7 inches
long.
-
The very last one should be 3.5
inches long.
Take one end and wrap the
outside so that it touches roughly the middle of the inside
and creates a pointy little loop. Do the same with the
other side and staple it in the center. The pointier you made
the loop, the better the end result.
Do the same to all the strips,
with the exception of the shortest one. Make that one a little
circle, secured by a dab of glue.
Layer those loops, one on top of
each other, securing each layer down with a dot of hot glue.
Keep on layering until all loops are used. Glue the
circle-loop down in the very center. Just like that, you're
done!

A recent episode of THE MARTHA
STEWART SHOW featured instructions to make upcycled bows.
Her instructions are slightly different from those above:
