Easy tutorial how to make a Gnome wall hanging

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a Gnome Wall Hanging with a Bowdabra bow.

Who doesn’t love gnomes???
Stop by your local Dollar Tree to see the variety of gnomes available.

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Ribbons
Gnome Wall Hanging

Instructions:

First, 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.

Place 2 pieces of ribbon, each 6″ in length in the Bowdabra.

Next, start creating the bow by placing the ribbon in the channel.

Create loops by passing the ribbon through the channel, twisting it on each turn.
Continue in this manner until you have created the desired number of loops.
I created 3 loops on each side.

After creating the loops with the red ribbon, I selected a coordinating green ribbon and created 5 smaller loops in the same manner.

I used the Bowdabra wand to push the ribbons into the channel.

Pull up on the bow wire, threading the ends through the loop.
Pull tight, turn to the back and and tie a knot.

Fluff out the loops and dovetail the ends of the ribbons.

Using the excess bow wire, tie the bow to the metal hanger and attach the gnome.

Thanks for stopping by.
