Santa Bow Will Make You Smile

"Santa Bow is simple and fun to make. You can use it as a gift tag on a present. Since the cuffs are white card stock, you can write “To:” your favorite person on the left and “From:” their favorite crafter … you on the right cuff. It’s a present in itself. Maybe you will choose to use it as an ornament. It’s fun however you decide to use it. Pattern pieces can be cut by hand or machines. Also included are some material variations."
