Decorate your home with Bows - A very frugal and beautiful way to decorate your home is to made dozens or maybe even hundreds of handmade bows that coordinate with the decor of your home and place them throughout your home... on stairway banisters, doorknobs, curtains, basket handles, candlesticks, chair legs.... anywhere you can tie a bow. You can also use ribbon that can be re-used each year like wired ribbon that can be saved and reshaped year after year. (submitted by Lori 10/01/05)
