Need a fabulous way to create a unique gift for Mother’s Day, Graduations, Birthdays, Housewarmings, and other special occasions? Imagine a glass container filled with fine chocolates, wrapped in mesh, and tied with a lovely Bowdabra bow! Sounds fabulous, doesn’t it! Let me show you how!
After filling a glass container with designer candies such as Godiva,
Secure the mesh at the top of the container with bow wire.
Now let’s make a bow using the Bowdabra to decorate and close the mesh around the container. Insert an 18″ piece of bow wire folded in half into the Bowdabra, tucking ends under.
Dovetails the ends by folding each end together and cutting at an angle from the fold down to the opposite corner end.
Next, pinch the end of the ribbon on the roll placing it down into the Bowdabra.
Create a 3.5 inch loop, twisting the ribbon down into the Bowdabra smoothing the ribbon out.
On the opposite side fold over the ribbon creating another 3.5 inch loop, twisting the ribbon down into the Bowdabra.
Then make a loop about 3 inches long, twisting the ribbon down into the Bowdabra.
Make a matching 3″ loop on the opposite side for a total of four loops (two on each side).
Leave about 1.5″ inches of ribbon for the finish center, and use the Bowdabra wand to crunch down the bow, using scissors to cut off the excess ribbon.
While the bow is still in the Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop, pulling tightly while gently pulling the bow out.
Let’s create a delightful no-glue door swag bow! Bowdabra designer,
