I saw this tutorial at Smile Monsters for making your own paper gift bows and I immediately wanted to turn the scribbles into bows. These are such a great idea for wrapping presents (especially

I recently came across this beautiful LOVE on Pinterest that was made using wire (or a wire hanger) and some thick yarn. I thought it would be fun to take this same idea and make a bird for Lyla’s nursery. See the full project and tutorial @ Family Chic This entire project took about 10 minutes and I only used things that I already had around the house: a wire
