I recently bought a bow maker at AC Moore. It has great instructions and is really easy to use with great results! It only cost 10.00 but I got a coupon out of my local newspaper for 50% off!
Does anyone have a template like the one used to make gift bows in the 60s? It was held together by what would looks like a push pin?

No need to buy bows or ribbons to decorate a gift. Use any wrapping paper and a pair of scissors to make a matching curly bow for a lovely finishing touch.
Turn paper muffin liners into cute decorations shaped like bowties. This is a page about making muffin liner gift bows.
Use pipe cleaners to make cute bows on their own or incorporate them into a more traditional bow by substituting the pipe cleaner for the ribbon tie in the center of the bow.
This is a page about making bows from magazines. The covers and pages of magazines can be recycled into colorful gift bows.
