How to Recycle a Wreath Bow to Make the Perfect Christmas Card Display
I never toss the beautiful Bowdabra bows I make, because it’s so easy to reuse them in another project. For this project, I’ve recycled a wreath bow that I made three years ago to make a Christmas card display.
Fold the 18″ bow wire in half and put it in the Bowdabra. Tuck the ends of the wire under the Bowdabra to keep them out of the way.
Center the 52″ length of ribbon in the Bowdabra.
With the ribbon still in the Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop, tighten, and tie a secure knot.
Use the wire ends to attach the streamers to the back of the recycled wreath bow.
In 4″ to 6″ intervals, attach the paper clips to the streamers. I’ve chosen to sew mine in place so they can be easily removed if I want to reuse this bow again for a new project.
Alternatively, you can pierce a small hole in the ribbon with an awl and thread the paper clip through the hole.
Optionally, you can add a length of fishline for hanging the Christmas card display.
Now you’re ready for Christmas mail!!
