Here is the card I made.
First, I chose this pretty green ribbon that matched.
I only had this one piece.
I adhered the strip of ribbon across the bottom of my card.
Then I grabbed my Mini Bowdabra.
I cut about 16″ of wire, folded it in half,
and inserted it into my bow making tool.
I placed my ribbon into the tool.
Leaving a tail on one side, I created a loop on the other side.
I repeated this process until I had two loops on each side.
There is a benefit to using this tool when you only have one piece of ribbon left.
It’s easy to adjust the ribbon back and forth,
ensuring that the loops and tails are even,
and using the entire piece.
I used the wand to scrunch the ribbon down.
Pull up the wire, and inserted the tail ends through the loop.
I pulled tight, while holding the ribbon down,
and pulled the bow from the tool.
Here is the bow as it is right out of the tool.
Here it is on my card.
I tied the wire tight and trimmed the ends.
I adjusted the loops and tails,
and adhered the bow in place on my card.
It’s just what I needed to finish off my card.
I left the gold wire showing in the middle of my bow,
then added a little more sparkle with the rhinestones in the top corners.
Sometimes, all you need to do is put a bow on it!
