She scrunches another different colored dovetailed mesh ribbon (4.5” long and 2.5” wide) over it and tops up the arrangement with a golden ribbon like the first one (8” long and 2.5” wide). She ties it all to finish the beautiful hat bow.

SUPER EASY LAST MINUTE HANUKKAH AND CHRISTMAS HOSTESS GIFT

To make a gift wrap, Sandy uses a cute little gift bag and puts a bag of Betty Crocker Mix inside it. She fills it with red confetti and places some more gift items in the bag like candies. She ties the bag with a Bowdabra bow wire to finish the gift wrap.

Beginning the second phase of the project, Sandy switches to the standard Bowdabra. She scrunches a dovetailed golden mesh ribbon (1 yard and 27” long and 2” wide) with twist and turn method making loops. She tops it with a green ribbon (24” long and 3 quarter wide) again making loops with the twist and turn method. Over it, Sandy scrunches a cute little decorative toy and ties it all, shaping the edges and loops of the ribbons to finish the beautiful bow. Lastly, Sandy ties the bow to the gift package to finish the pretty hostess gift.

For this project, Sandy returns to the Mini Bowdabra. She scrunches a green wired ribbon (12” long and 5” wide) and another different colored dovetailed ribbon (2.5” long and 2.5” wide). She scrunches another red ribbon (11” long and 1.5” wide) over it and ties it all to finish the bow that can be tied to a headband. Spreading the ribbons in a circular manner, the bow can also be used as an ornament.
