Everything looks a little better with a Bowdabra Bow. I purchased a really pretty Saint Patrick’s Day wall hanging at Michael’s. I want to add something extra to it and I thought a sparkly green shamrock bow would just do the trick!

Materials Needed:
- Tulle
- Assorted Ribbon
- Bowdabra
- Bowdabra Bow Wire
