Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here and I am sharing a lovely thank you gift bag that has been finished with a Bowdabra bow.
Bowdabra Bow-Making Tool
Bow Wire
Ribbon
Gift Bag
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it in the Bowdabra.
Tuck the ends underneath while making the bow. Next, place a strip of ribbon in the Bowdabra.
Start creating loops, folding and twisting the ribbon as it passes through the channel.
Create 3 loops on either side of the channel.
Next, take a thinner ribbon, and hold the ribbon so the end is hidden.
Now, create 3 smaller loops.
Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Pull the bow wire through the wire loop and tighten it while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.
Next, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the wire ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot.
Fluff out and arrange the loops.
Decorate a thank you gift bag and tie the bow to the gift bag handles using the excess bow wire.
Wrap the bow wire around the bow and use a craft pick to twirl the wire for some extra pizazz.
Thanks for stopping by.
