Hey, everyone! It’s Lexi from the Bowdabra Design Team, and I’m super excited to share a fun and cute tutorial for making an adorable, everlasting Valentine’s Day gift: a DIY Lego Rose Bud Vase! Let’s get started!
Box of Lego Flowers
Bud Vase
Foliage
1.5 yds of 1.5” wide Wired Ribbon
Mini Bowdabra
Bowdabra Bow Wire
First, put together the Lego flowers as per the instructions on the box. Next, dress them up for the presentation!
First, cut a length of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it in the Mini Bowdabra. tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Next, cut the tails and dovetail the ends. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold. Fold the ribbon in half to find the center pinch to make a crease and place it in the Mini Bowdabra.
Now, take a longer piece of the same ribbon and place the pretty side down into the Bowdabra. Twist and fold across to make a loop. Continue to twist and fold except make these loops a little smaller. Finish with about a 1-inch button loop center.
Next, 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 the bow, open the loops, and arrange the loops. Curl the tails with your fingers. Put the lego flowers in the bud vase and using the excess bow wire, tie the bow to the front of the vase either on the neck or on the lego flower. You have this beautiful Lego Rose everlasting Valentine’s Day gift!
