Next, add hot glue to the edge of the placemat on the flat portion.
And seal, holding it together until the glue dries. How easy was that!
To make a Bow for the Floral Cone:
First, insert a 20″ piece of bow wire folded in half into the Bowdabra, tucking ends under. Then, cut an 18″ piece of wired ribbon, pinching the middle of the ribbon strip place it down into the Bowdabra. Dovetail the ends by folding the ribbon together and starting at the bottom cut up to the fold at an angle.
Next, crease the end of the matching ribbon on the roll, and place it in the Bowdabra.
Since the design is on one side of this ribbon, fold a 5″ loop, creasing, and twisting the center of the ribbon down into the Bowdabra.
Fold and twist the ribbon to make a matching 5″ loop on the opposite side, down into the Bowdabra.
Continue making one more loop on either side. Fold and crease the center and twist the ribbon into the Bowdabra for a total of four loops. Scrunch all the loops down using the Bowdabra wand and cut off the excess ribbon.
While the bow is still in the Bowdabra, thread the loose ends of the bow wire through the loop and pull tight while gently pulling the bow out.
Then take the wire around to the back, tying the bow wire in two or three tight knots, cutting off excess bow wire.
Cut eight inches of bow wire to insert into the top edge of the cone. Make a loop, tying the ends to hang the cone.
Add hot glue to the back of the bow in the center and attach to the woven cone.
To finish, add beautiful flowers and hang the floral cone vase!
