Sandy Sandler, the creator of the Bowdabra shows you how to create a stunning dollar store Easter floral arrangement centerpiece in just minutes with the Bowdabra bow maker. Place it around the house or as a centerpiece for your holiday dinner. Sandy shows you step-by-step so even a beginner can become a floral designer.
Materials:
- Bowdabra
- Bowdabra bow wire
- Dollar tree, 6 pack of golden eggs in carton.
- Dollar tree bush of blooming branches.
- Three daffodil stems from a dollar tree bush
- Three anemone stems from a dollar tree bush.
- Two stems of matching filler flowers from a dollar tree bush
- Tiny terra-cotta pot, (1 inch) with floral foam to fit and to fit in a bowl.
- Moss
- One yard of carrot toss print ribbon
- One square or round cereal bowl size container
Instructions:
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Next, lay the flowers into the Bowdabra one at a time.
Now, lay in the tails of carrot toss print ribbon on which the ends have already been dovetailed. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold.
Then, take the longer piece of carrot ribbon, twist it and lay it in the Bowdabra. Bring it across and form a loop, then bring the other side across to form a bow. Make a small button loop with the excess ribbon to finish.
Now scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot for extra security.
Arrange and fluff the bow and flowers and set aside.
Add the floral foam to the chosen container. Cover the foam with the moss and add the eggs.
You have the most beautiful dollar store Easter floral arrangement centerpiece that was super easy to make. This arrangement makes a great Easter or hostess gift for mom or anyone
Note: change the colors of ribbons and flowers for any season!!
