PAPER BOWS: Tutorial

This is a project that I've found while browsing another blog (here). I've loved it and wanted to share it with you as well. They would be great as a kid activity or you can use it to decorate your gifts. They can also be used as a part of a party decoration too.
 

Supplies:
Square piece of card stock
One brad
Hole punch
Scissors
