Create the most Beautiful Table Settings with decorated Wine Glasses

Gail Griffin

 

Decorated wine glasses with flower petals and bow are perfect for weddings, celebrations, and just about any special occasion! Just take a look at how pretty it is – petals placed in a rose pattern and finished with a gorgeous bow made using the Mini Bowdabra! The best part, you only need a few materials to create this lovely look.

Instructions:

First, separate the petals from the roses. Begin gluing on the individual petals around the middle of a clean wine glass.

Continue gluing on the petals, overlapping each one .  .  .

creating two, three, or more rows of overlapped petals until .  .  .

satisfied with the look of a blooming flower! 

Next, it’s time to make the bow!  Cut an 18″ piece of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it down into the Mini Bowdabra, tucking ends under.
Make the bow:

Then cut a strip of fancy ribbon 12″ long and pinch the ribbon in the middle. Insert it down into the Mini Bowdabra for the bow tails. 

Dovetail the ends by folding each end together and cutting at an angle from the end up to the fold.

 

Next, pinch the end of the ribbon on the roll placing it down into the Mini Bowdabra.

Create a loop by folding over the ribbon at the 3″ mark on the Bowdabra measuring tool. Pinch the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra smoothing the ribbon out since it’s the same design on both sides.
On the opposite side, fold over the ribbon at the 3″ mark creating another loop, and pinching the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra.

 

Repeat making two more 3″ loops on either side for a total of four loops. Take the end of the ribbon in the center over the bow wire, tucking it under into a decorative knot for a finished look!
Use the Mini Bowdabra wand to crunch down the bow.

While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop, pulling tightly while gently pulling the bow out.

Attach the bow on the stem of the glass just under the petals with the bow wire, tying the bow wire in a double knot. Then cut off the excess bow wire.
Straighten and fluff the bow for a fabulous, designer look!
