So we've got these all clipped together to make it a little bit easier for me when I'm making at so I'm gon na take my regular bowdabra and I think I'm gon na use the silver bowdabra bow wire on this, because we have silver in the bow And I'll clip a piece and don't forget everybody say I want to win so you are eligible to win a role of the bowdabra scrunchie ribbon and now I'm going to lay this here. I'M gon na poke this around and they have a piece. It'S a 21 inch wide piece of mesh and I've only got about 15 inches, and then this is a great and I'm just going to scrunch this in it's a great way to use your excess mesh, and then I have this piece here. Actually, this is one of our bowdabra ribbons and it's really glittery and I just love it. It'S four inches wide, I believe, and it's 24 inches long and we've dovetailed the ends. I'M just gon na scrunch this in here and then I have a beautiful piece of blue ribbon that is 23 and a half inches by two and a half, and I'm gon na just lay this down in there and then one and a half inch by 24 Inches and we're just gon na lay this in here, and I think this could be a really pretty centerpiece. So me, just that's gon na come after so now I have this piece here that is 25 inches, and it's just a tail. I'M gon na lay that in there - and we have another tail that I believe is the same length, that's 23 inches and it's a one and a half inch wide ribbon, and now I have another one, so we're just putting a whole bunch of tails in here. I'M actually going to grab this piece here that is 18 inches and just kind of lay that in so we're just sort of mixing and matching all of our different tails. And I just think this makes a gorgeous. Centerpiece Wow lay that down in there and I have another tale that is 23 inches, so they're all pretty much. You know the same length and this one is the same length here and now I have another piece of our mesh and this is, I think we call it a glitter mesh, but I'm not 100 % sure so take the right side and scrunch this down. Hi Kay and hi Annette and again take the right side put that down this way, go to the center and scrunch everything down, and I have another one that is 16 inches. I'M just gon na take the right side of it. Lay that down fold it over lay that in there and then you have this little MN. I have this really pretty illness works for Mardi Gras, with the little feather put that down in the center and I'll take my wand and just give everything a little bit of a push, and one of the things you'll notice is when the bowdabra starts getting really Full the towers will come together, so you just have to kind of push them apart a little bit then now I will take my bowdabra bow wire and pull it through the Slipknot pull it tight, while it's still in my mode Abra - and I take it out Separate the ends, so I mean how super simple was that and I'm going to tie a knot, tie another knot and I'm gon na clip my ends and just shape this out, and you have this like? Is that knot like so super simple and what you could do is lay it flat, and if I, if I lay it flat on the table, I can put like a candle here in the candle here and we make a really beautiful centerpiece. So I hope you guys like this and also I'd. I see it just popped on the screen to join our bowdabra fan gallery definitely join our bowdabra fan gallery. It is so much fun and we have such amazing creative people, and now I'm going to take my glitter grabber here, because I've got glitter all over everything and this just works like magic to pick up their glitter. I don't know if you guys are seeing how amazing this is for picking up glitter. It'S like the best thing I've ever found, so I'm gon na put that aside and I'm gon na make a little ribbon flower in the mini bowdabra, and this is really fun, and this could be really pretty. You could just make it bigger and put it as a wreath bow. So I'm just gon na grab some of the dabber bow wire and I'm gon na fold it in half and I think, like we'll, make some more ribbon flowers starting in March, because I'm so excited. I can't believe I mean, I know a lot of you live in colder climates than where we are, but we actually have our cherry blossoms starting to bloom. It'S just kind of cool, so these pieces are 7 inches and I've just cut the points on them because they're gon na be like my leaves of my flower. So I'm just gon na lay these in I've got three pieces and, as you can see, I'm just sort of shaping them as I go, and these are wired ribbon, which, when you see when we do the flower, it kind of makes it a little bit easier To shape and we will be making flowers during our lives in March, as well as a wreath bows and doing some wedding stuff as well, and so now I have these and we've just curved we've just sort of kind of curved on the end, we'll just lay These down in here you don't even tell you how long they were there five inches before we cut the curves, so we'll just lay these in and so how many of you have made flowers with the bowdabra before, let me know, and if you have made the Flowers, please post pictures in our bowdabra fan gallery. Oh and the other thing which I almost forgot to talk about, is lay that in there and then I'm gon na just take my ends, bring them up, pull it through my Slipknot and as soon as I'm done with this fun, I mean to make one more. Like a real, simple wreath or a wreath bow, so I'm gon na separate the ends, bring it around to the back. I'M gon na tie a knot and double knot. It and I can just tie this um, let's shape this first, and so. The reason that I that I, like the wired ribbon is because it's really easy to shape my flowers, and this could be even really pretty for a hair bow for like a wedding and I'm going to grab. I thought I put them on the table. Maybe I didn't um whoops. I guess I didn't excuse me for that and I'm going to grab one of my sauce and I'm just gon na put this on the back of this little flower and put that right in the middle. Just to add a little decor to it and I'm going to grab a hair, alligator clip and I'll show you how we tie this onto the alligator clip. So I want the top of the clip to be against my bow and I'm just going to wrap this around here and probably wrap it like twice around that way and then take this one and wrap it twice around the opposite way and then just bring them Down here and I'm just going to tie a knot there and we should be having the winner coming up really soon. Oh and I almost forgot, if you didn't see, last week's we are doing a carbo contest, so you have to be a member which is free to join. It'S not a big deal of our bowdabra fan gallery. So isn't that adorable and just so super simple and there's just a cute little hair clip so I'll put that aside and as promised, I'm just gon na make a really quick and simple wreath, bow Remy's trying to get my attention we do sell on Amazon in Canada, so right now we don't ship to Canada, but amazon.com has our product has the bowdabra x' and you can buy from there or you can also buy from Michael's encounter that so now, I'm just going to take some bowdabra bow wire and now, let's see whoops Sorry guys, I'm just trying to look at so, but we have had winners from Canada. So we should. We will ship to our winners up there, but but as far as shipping or a product not yet and hi, Francis okay, so we've got 33 inches and I've already dubbed held the ends I'll just fold that in half and lay this. So this is just a super super simple wreath bow, so I'm just gon na start, okay, you're trying to tell me something: oh, the winner, where's the winner. I don't see the winner, Oh Regina, awesome, so Regina Hoffman is our winner and Remi will post that up. There so I'm gon na take, I think, I'm gon na take it's about probably three yards to three, my unofficial measuring and just clip this and I'll show you really quickly how to make a super simple wreath bow. So now I'm just gon na twist this I'm having sorry you guys, I'm having trouble getting all the comments for some reason. It'S I don't know what it is, but at least Remy's there to tell me - and I can see them when they're posted up so we're gon na twist it and I'm just gon na fold it back and the really cool thing with the bowdabra is so we'll Fold that there and I am using a wired ribbon, you don't have to use wired ribbon, but I prefer it because it's so much easier to shape. But I have had requests from people who want me to make bows without wired ribbon, and I definitely will be doing that in some of our videos and just as a reminder, I'm twisting everything up here. I think that's why why Nick always turns the bowdabra when he makes the bows, but it's funny, because some people have to turn it to make them and me I can't do it if I have to turn it, so I actually want a bigger bow than this. So I'm just gon na stop there and I'm gon na take a little bit more of my ribbon and and oh my gosh everybody thank you so so much for sharing and all I'm gon na do is just keep going. So this is: what's cool is if you get to the end of the roll or you run out of your ribbon, you don't have to stop making your bow. You can just continue, and this will be a really pretty like winter wreath bow so we'll just fold. This back or even wedding pew bow. This would be pretty twists and I'm just gon na fold it back here and take this and do this here and then I am going to take my wand and just sort of scrunch everything down into my bowdabra and pull this up, pull it through. My Slipknot tight, while it's still in the bowdabra and you know the cool thing about these bows - is they work for Riis? They work for chair, bows or pew bows, or a gift wrap, bow and I'll. Just not that and then now we have to shape it. So I'll shape it by bringing my loops in here, bringing my loops in opposite directions and taking these and just I just bring all my loops in opposite directions here and just pull my tails down to the front. And you have a super easy. But beautiful wreath bow, so I hope that you have enjoyed our show. Nick will be here on Monday. Next Monday and he'll be doing the live and he's amazing. So I know you guys will love his his bows that he'll make, and I want to thank everybody for tuning in thank all of you for sharing and please don't forget, to follow. Bowdabra on Facebook, see you soon bye,
