Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here using Bowdabra bows to decorate beautiful flower girl baskets for an upcoming wedding. Wouldn’t the Flower Girls look adorable with their personalized baskets? Get a head start on these perfect flower girl baskets for spring and early summer weddings.
Bowdabra Mini Bow Maker and Bowdabra Hair Bow Tool & Ruler Kit
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Tulle
Basket
Flowers
First, fold the bow wire in half and lay it in the Bowdabra. This will be your slipknot.
Place the Hair Bow Tool & Ruler over the Mini Bowdabra.
It fits easily and allows you to measure each loop so the loops are consistent in size.
Next, place the tulle in the channel.
After you place the tulle in the Bowdabra start creating loops, twisting the tulle as it passes through the channel.
Since tulle is a bit more flexible than ribbon, you can place several loops within the channel.
Use the bow wand to push the tulle into the Bowdabra.
This helps give you more room so you can create additional loops.
I created a 4 looped bow.
Pull up on the bow wire
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.
Use the excess bow wire to tie the bows to the baskets
Using hot glue, glue wood flowers to the centers of the bows.
Finally, twirl the remaining bow wire using a craft pick.
Fill the basket with some loose tulle and add assorted rose petals which the Flower Girls will drop down the aisle.
Thanks for stopping by.
Steph
