Materials:

Bowdabra® Bow Maker

Bowdabra® Bow Wire

Cymbidium Orchid cut to fit the vase

12” or taller clear glass cylinder vase

River rocks cover the bottom of the vase

Optional: Water for a more realistic look

16” of 1.5” wide rhinestone ribbon for trim (for a 12” vase)

14” of 1/2” wide rhinestone ribbon

2” of 5/8” wide Rhinestone ribbon

Glue dots or Zots

Instructions:

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, take a piece of rhinestone mesh and find the center. Place it into the Bowdabra with the right side facing down.  Now, bring one end across scrunch into the Bowdabra, and repeat with the other side making a bow. Now thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra, separate the ends, and gently remove the bow.  Turn to the back and tie a knot and double knot.

Cut a smaller piece of rhinestone mesh and wrap it around the center of the bow securing with some glue dots. Set the bow aside.

Next, take the vase and starting at the top attach some rhinestone mesh with a glue dot, bring it down diagonally to the bottom, and add another glue dot there to hold it secure. Attach the rhinestone bow to the bottom of the vase.

Finally, add some river rock to the bottom of the vase. To finish, add your orchid to the vase.  You have this stunning vase wedding decor.  It’s perfect for weddings but would be equally great for any elegant event you are hosting.
