Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Bow Wire
Burlap Ribbon
Pompom Ribbon
Gift bag
First, cut, fold in half and lay some bow wire in the Bowdabra and place the ends underneath while creating the bow.
Next, cut a 12″ length of burlap ribbon and place in the channel.
Now, create 3 loops on either side of the channel.
Cut 12″ lengths of pompom strands and place in the channel.
Pull the wire ends through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Turn it to the back and tie a knot and double knot.
Fluff out and arrange the bow.
Decorate a Christmas gift bag with assorted papers and stamped images.
Tie the bow to the handles.
Thanks for stopping by.
