Create a beautiful Thanksgiving Fall Pumpkin Votive. Use orange satin ribbon and the Mini Bowdabra to design a ribbon 
pumpkin easily. Showcase the ribbon pumpkin on the front of a glass votive holder. Make several ribbon pumpkins and glass votives for exquisite Thanksgiving Decor. Line the glass votives across a mantle or place them in windows. Place flame-less tealights inside of the glass holders for safe and easy Thanksgiving or Fall decorative pieces.

4. Scrunch satin ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra.
5. Fold the ribbon down into an accordion shape. Cut away the extra ribbon.
6. Scrunch ribbon down with the Bowdabra Wand.
7. While the bow is still in the Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end.
8. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.
9. Gently pull the bow out of the Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the BowdabraBow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow. To tie off the bow, pinch the BowdabraBow Wire securely against the bow. Twist the bow 4 to 6 times in a clockwise direction.
10. Attach a small brown ribbon stem with a Glue Dot on the back of the pumpkin bow.
