Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here sharing this Blessed Pumpkin themed plaque you decorate with an easy bow created with the Bowdabra.
Bowdabra Mini Bow-Making Tool
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Wood Plaque
Plaid Paint
Ribbon
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, cut some wide ribbons into strips, so you can create a small bow.
Next, place a strip in the Bowdabra and twist it as it passes through the channel.
Add additional strips until you achieve the loops you desire.
Use the bow wand to push the loops into the channel.
Create 3 loops on each side.
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. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy!
Fluff out and arrange the loops.
Decorate the panel as desired with paints and a napkin, adhering it with Mod Podge.
Add a strip of burlap and adhere Blessed on top of the burlap.
Tie the bow to the top of the click.
Twirl the excess bow wire on a craft pick.
Tie some mini ornamental balls to the top.
Enjoy the beauty of this pumpkin themed plaque all season long!
