I love wooden signs with a welcome sentiment. Placing heartfelt signs by your entry way is a great way to welcome guests into your home. Purchase an unfinished wooden sign at your local craft store and add your own sentiment and finish with beautiful Mini Bowdabra Bows. Make several signs and share with family and friends when they move into a new home.

Materials Needed:

• Unfinished Wooden Sign
• Paint
• Peel and Stick Sentiment or Stencil
• Mini Bowdabra
• Bowdabra Bow Wire
• Hair Bow Tool & Ruler
• Tulle
• Poly Satin Ribbon
• Glue

Instructions:

1. Begin by painting an unfinished sign and adding a sentiment.

2. Next, to add the bows to the sign place the Hair Bow Tool & Ruler onto the Mini Bowdabra. Cut 18″ of Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold the wire in half. Place the wire into the Mini Bowdabra. Gather the ribbon you will need.
