How To Make an adorable Mother’s Day Wine Caddy

This Mother’s Day surprise her with useful wine caddy accented with a beautiful handmade bow.

 Supplies You’ll Need

For the Bow:

• 1 yard 1½” wide ribbon (I used Woven Hidden Arrow in Rose from May Arts)
• One yard 5/8″ wide ribbon (I used Two Tone Sparkle from May Arts)
• 1 ½” button or piece of bling to accent the bow
• E6000 adhesive
• 18″ Bowdabra bow wire
• Bowdabra Bow Making Tool

For the Wine Caddy:

• 1 8½” x 11″ piece ¼” craft plywood
• FolkArt Color Shift acrylic paint (I used Red Flash)
• Craft paint brush
• Bottle of wine
• 2 wine glasses

Instructions

For the Bow:

1. Fold the bow wire in half, and place in the Bowdabra. You can tuck the ends under the Bowdabra so they are out of your way.
2. Beginning with the wide ribbon, insert an end into the Bowdabra forming one tail of the bow.
3. Make two loops on each side of the Bowdabra and the second tail.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the narrow ribbon.
5. Compress the ribbons in the Bowdabra with the Bowdabra wand.
6. With the ribbon still in the Bowdabra, pass the end of the bow wire through the loop, and tighten to secure. Remove the bow from the Bowdabra.
7. Tie a knot on the reverse side of the bow with the bow wire. Leave the ends of the wire long to attach the bow to the wine bottle.
8. Fluff the bow. Use adhesive to glue button or bling to the center of the front of the bow.

For the Wind Caddy:

1. Use this pattern to cut the wine caddy from craft plywood.
2. If necessary, sand rough edges.
3. Paint with two coats of FolkArt Color Shift acrylic paint.

Assemble Your Gift

1. Place the wine caddy on the neck of the wine bottle.
2. Hang a wine glass on each side in the slots provided.
3. Adorn with your bow, using the bow wire ends to secure the bow in place.
