Year-end party decor
Begin by cutting two pieces of ribbon mesh wrap – 10 1/2″x4 1/2″ and 6″x4 1/2″
Apply fabric glue on the two vertical side edges and bottom of the smaller piece and adhere to the larger piece, matching bottom and sides to form the pocket of the flatware holder. Let dry.
To Make the Bow: Cut a 12″ piece of bow wire, fold in half and place in the Mini Bowdabra tucking ends under.
Cut the ribbon 10″ long, sealing both ends with a flame or clear nail polish. Crease one end of the ribbon and place in the Mini Bowdabra.
Make another crease at the other end of the ribbon, looping over the Mini Bowdabra tower and insert.
Make a crease in the center of the ribbon and press down into the Mini Bowdabra, making sure the loops are even on the hair bow tool and ruler.
Scrunch down the ribbon with the Bowdabra wand.
While the bow is still in, thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop. pull the wire tightly, and then gently pull it out of the Bowdabra. Turn to the back and tie in a knot. Cut off excess wire.
Finishing your party decor
To finish the bow, cut a strip of rhinestone mesh wrap just enough to fit around the ribbon. Add a dab of hot glue and attach the finishing mesh ribbon along the bow wire, sealing with glue.
Add a bit of glue to the back of the bow and center on the edge of the flatware holder’s pocket.
Have fun decorating matching party items like champagne glasses and vases just by cutting ribbon mesh wrap to fit. Add a beautiful Bowdabra bows for an awesome look at your year-end celebrations!
