How to make a beautiful floral gift bag

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a floral gift bag perfect to use for any of your gift giving needs.

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Maker
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Mesh
Ribbon
Flowers
Gift bag

Instructions:

First, gather your supplies.  Anything goes when creating gift bags, so look through your stash for fun elements to use.

Cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire, 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 length of black mesh.
I didn’t bother to measure it as I wanted a fluffy looped bow.
Feed the mesh into the channel until the entire length is in the channel.

Next use the bow wand to push the mesh down into the channel.

Now, cut 4 lengths or ribbon, each approximately 6″; dove tail the edges.
I selected the pink ribbon as I knew it would stand out against the black mesh.

Pull up on the bow wire, threading the ends through the loop.
Pull tight and tie off.

Tie the bow to a floral stem using the bow wire.

Finally, add pattern paper to the gift bag.
Using hot glue, glue the bow in place.
Twirl the left over bow wire using a craft stick.

Mix up the colors and make a personalized gift bag for someone special. The floral gift bag is an extra special way to present Mom a Mother’s Day gift this year.

Thanks for stopping by.
