Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share a sweet Hostess Gift Set, decorated with the Bowdabra. Who doesn’t love a gift with a beautiful bow.
How to make a sweet hostess gift set
Supplies:
Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Bow Wire
Ribbon
Gift Set
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, place ribbon in the Bowdabra and start creating loops.
Twist the ribbon as it passes through the Bowdabra so the right side is always visible.
As you start creating the loops, use the bow wand to push the loops in the Bowdabra.
Then, create additional loops, using the bow wand as necessary.
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.
Fluff out the loops and arrange your bow in a pleasing manner.
Use excess ribbon to tie the gift set together.
I had a leaf platter into which I placed dish towels and pot holders.
I tied the bow to the wrapped package and fluffed out the bow.
What a beautifully decorated gift for a hostess.
Thanks for stopping by.
Steph
