How to Make the Perfect Holiday Gift Mug with Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with an easy project.  Looking for gift ideas this Christmas?  Make the perfect holiday gift mug by adding a gorgeous Bowdabra bow. A bow adds the perfect touch to any gifts this season!

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow-Making Tool
Bow wire
2 1/2″ Swirl Ribbon
Burlap Ribbon
Pumpkin Picks
Mugs

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire.  Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side.  This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.

Next, cut a 12″ strip of wired ribbon and place it in the channel.

Next, create 3 loops on each side of the channel.
Use the bow wand to push the loops into the channel.

Place some holiday picks in the Bowdabra.

Pull up on the Bowdabra and tie off.

Fluff out the loops and cut down the length of the picks.

Wrap burlap ribbon around the mugs and adhere with hot glue.

Twirl the excess bow wire on a craft pick.
Hot glue the bows to the burlap band.

You have the perfect Holiday Gift Mug for just about anyone on your list. Be sure and make several quickly and easily.

Thanks for stopping by.
