How to make a better summer gift basket with a special bucket

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share how you can turn a simple bucket into a special Bowdabra gift basket.

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Making Tool

Bow Wire

Ribbon

Bucket of goodies

Cellophane for wrapping gift basket

Bowdabra gift basket

Instructions:

First, cut some bow wire, fold it in half, and then lay it into the Bowdabra. Then, tuck the ends underneath while creating the bow.

Next, cut 12″ lengths of ribbon and lay each of them in the Bowdabra.

Add coordinating strips of the same color ribbon.

Create 2 loops with the final ribbon and place in the channel.

Thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.  Remove from the Bowdabra and then turn to the back and tie a knot and a double knot.

Dovetail the ends of each of the ribbon tails.

Take some cellophane and wrap the basket filled with the goodies.  Tie it together with some more bow wire.

Attach the bow to the top of the bucket filled with assorted goodies and you’ve got a beautifully decorated Bowdabra gift basket suitable for any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by.
