Father's Day present

My husband got his father this really cool soft leather slim bible
for Father's Day. But of course, being a man - he didn't think
of getting a gift bag or wrapping paper.

So I looked in my stash, and thank goodness, I found some
manly wrapping paper. It has fish on it which I don't 
think my father-in-law fishes, but oh well! It'll have to do.

My husband asked me if I had any cool ribbon. Me? Have ribbon?
Of course!

He wanted to strap the Father's Day card to the bible.
So I found some grosgrain ribbon that matched the paper, but
I didn't have a bow to match.

Then I remembered I had a gift bow tutorial bookmarked.
Just had to find it.

Here it is.  It's from How About Orange. 
I first thought I would make it out of the ribbon, but then I 
decided I didn't want to waste that much ribbon. 
So I used the wrapping paper. 




I never knew gift bows were that easy! My husband thought
it looked very professional. He said, "You don't ever have
to buy bows again!" 

I don't know about that! But it was fun.
