How to Make Personalized Bridal Party Mugs with Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a fun project for a bridal party gift.  A dd gorgeous Bowdabra bows to mugs which are filled with assorted goodies, and give them to the bridal party ladies as a thank you for all the help they provided toward the wedding day.

Supplies:
Bowdabra Mini Bow Maker
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Ribbon
Mug
Flowers

First, fold the bow wire in half and lay it in the Bowdabra. This will be your slipknot.
Cut an 8″ strip of ribbons and place it in the channel.

Place the ribbon in the Bowdabra and start creating bows, twisting the ribbon as it passes through the channel.
I find wired ribbon works the best, especially when creating smaller bows!

Use the bow wand to push the loops into the channel.
This helps give you some additional room so you can create additional loops.
I created a 3 looped bow.

Select some coordinating floral elements.
Place the flowers in the channel and again use the bow wand to push the flowers into place.

Thread the loose wires through the loop and pull up on the bow wire while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.  Remove, turn to the back, and tie a knot.

Fluff out the loops.
Dovetail the ribbon ends.
Rearrange the flowers in the center.

Add a strip of ribbon around each mug and glue in place.
Next, use hot glue to attach the bow to each mug.

Make name tags for each mug.
Tie the tags to the bows using the excess bow wire.
Finally, twirl the remaining bow wire using a craft pick. These favors are the perfect bridal party mugs to give to those in the wedding party.

This is a large wedding party of 13 ladies.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph
