We like to add a little ornament to the package or use a decorative reusable shopping bag as a tote to hold gifts that are individually wrapped but work as a set. Sometimes, the extras end up costing pretty much, though, so I was excited to see a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iheartswitch.com\/blog\/diy-video-easy-light-holiday-bow#comments\">lighted bow tutorial<\/a> from Alison Lewis that uses just a few items \u2013 saran wrap, hot glue and some LEDs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/lightedbowcraft.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-left: 0px;border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"184\" alt=\"lighted bow craft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/lightedbowcraft_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>The whole process involves a few simple steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a loop bow just as you would with regular ribbon. <\/li>\n<li>Get your hot glue gun and go back and forth with the hot glue over the surface of the bow. You should do this over and over again.<\/li>\n<li>Add your lights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is hard to believe those few simple steps help you create such an amazing decoration. I\u2019m looking forward to making a few of them as gift toppers. I also think they\u2019d be a nice addition to a wreath that was sheltered by a porch overhang. Make sure you watch the video the whole way through. At the very end, she turns out the lights to show you how the lighted bows look and it is just spectacular.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"vidembedwrap\"><object width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>(If you have problems with a really choppy video and no sound, click on the little HD is on button on the right hand side of the VIMEO player.
