Creative Places to Tie Bows

There's something about the symmetry yet softness of a bow that brings joy to the eye and a smile to the face.

As I say daily, 'Life is a gift. Let's put a bow on it!'

I hope you'll consider adding bows to your interior designs, not just gifts to enjoy these sweet touches.

Here are some fun ideas on where to place your next bow.

Front door | Consider swapping your seasonal wreath with a large scale bow. To add a little visual texture nestle a cluster of seasonal blooms or natural elements at the center of your door bow.

Mantle | I absolutely LOVE what Karin from Your Cozy Home did to dress up her spooky mantle for Halloween! Isn't this black crepe paper bow wonderful?

Wreaths | Naturally, adding bows of all sizes and textures to your wreath decor is a must! Have fun searching out inspiration for your next creation.

Personal Accessories | Craft bows for clips, hair ties, headbands, shoe toppers and more.

Easy Holiday Gift Wrap Ideas

Here are some of my favorite bow alternatives to top gifts of any sort.

With just a few materials - usually found in your scrap bin - you can turn a gift into an experience!
