It’s Friday. As in Feedback Friday. Except that my Friday … and my Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday have been a little crazy. So this week I will be sharing lots of feedback + answering your questions – tomorrow. I don’t usually post on weekends but hey. Rolling with the punches here.
…..
So today you get the next video in my 12 Videos of Christmas series! Say hello to adorable Ada in Spreckels, California who teaches us her bow-making tips.
Ada says, I learned how to make these bows years ago … and they are SO easy! Whenever I wrap something up I am asked how to do it. It’s not easy to explain, but very easy to show. That’s why I made the video. I wish I had more time because I love blogging & all the things I get from other peoples lives. I don’t do it nearly enough. I’ve been following Becky’s for years … like before Claire!
You can find more of Ada’s ideas at Lifeasachefswife.blogspot.com

oh how sweet, I hardly ever hear of an Ada under age of 80! Its definitely old fashioned name. Merry Christmas Ada, love Ada
Cute bow but there’s actually an even easier way to do this…no stapler required! I’d be worried about my kids poking themselves with the staples as they’re ripping off bows and wrapping paper.
The best was the end the way she added the extra piece of ribbon and turned it under the bow. Genius!
I feel the need to wrap pretty presents. Maybe this year I won’t be hidding my unattrative but wrapped gift under the pile.
Thank you for sharing this cute tip!
I’m going to try this tonight!! Thanks for the awesome video….
