How to make a lovely gift bow with the Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share how to create a lovely gift bow with the Bowdabra.

 

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Making Tool Large
Bowdabra Bow Wire
1 1/2″ Vintage Garden Pink
Green Burlap Ribbon
Wrapped package

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.

Cut 2 strips of Green Burlap Ribbon, each approximately 8″ in length,
Then place each strip in the Bowdabra.

Using the Vintage Garden Ribbon, start creating a bow, leaving a 4″ tail.

Create a 5 looped bow by twistin and folding.
Periodically, use the bow wand to push to ribbons in the Bowdabra.

Next, place some small flowers in the channel.

Thread the loose wires through the loop and pull up on the bow wire. Remove the bow from the Bowdabra and turn to the back and tie off.

Wrap a strip of ribbon around the package.
Tie the bow to the ribbon strip.

Fluff out the ribbons and dove tail the edges of each ribbon.

Who wouldn’t love receiving a lovely gift bow wrapped package?
