When it comes to wrapping presents I love adding a little something extra to make a big impact! I've teamed up with JOANN and Cricut, two of my favorite brands to bring you something extra special!

I'm sharing my FREE SVG bow files today that are perfect for decorating Christmas presents! Cut them out of paper, cardstock or felt to create beautiful easy-to-make bows. You can even add them to your Christmas tree.

REMOVE PROJECT FROM MAT

Step 1. Remove the excess paper and gently remove each pattern piece.

Step 2. Pull the mat backward away from the paper to avoid curling the paper.

Step 1. Use the end of a Cricut tool to shape the paper so they ends fold inward towards the center.

Step 2. Place a dot of hot glue in the center of the bow on the backside.

Step3. Bring the ends to the center and hold them in place until the glue cools.

Step 4. Stack the bows on top of each other securing them with a dot of hot glue.
