How to:

Then cut off the top ring which will become the handle.

Now, place a strip of 3/8″ ribbon over the glue and smooth the ribbon out.

Continue adding glue on all the top marks equally on the diagonal to add the strips of ribbon. Once all the ribbon strips are dry, cut off the excess ribbon ends on the top and bottom.

   

Finish the look by gluing on strips of ribbon around the top of the plastic cup  .  . .

Next, attach the handle by cutting open the plastic ring and applying glue to the inside of the cup at the 3 and 9 marks.

To add a decorative bow

inserting it down into the Mini Bowdabra for the bow tails.

Leave the ribbon on the roll pinch the end and place it down into the Mini Bowdabra. Then fold over the ribbon making a 2″ loop, twisting the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra. 

       

Then, fold over the ribbon creating a 2″ loop, twisting the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra on the opposite side.

Use the Mini Bowdabra wand to scrunch down the center of the bow and cut off excess ribbon.   

                                       

While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop, pulling tightly while gently pulling the bow out. Tie bow wire around to the back cutting off excess wire. Then fluff and straighten the bow!

 Dovetail the ends by folding the ends together and cutting at an angle from the fold down to the opposite end.

Attach the gorgeous bow to the top center of the goody basket table favors using quick dry glue.  Have fun creating beautiful goody basket table favors filled with small treats or gifts.
