Hi everybody happy Earth Day and I hope everybody had an amazing Easter weekend and Passover beginning of your Passover celebration and we are gon na get started using some great easy to make bows. I made a bracelet in the preview I'm gon na, make it again and give you the measurements. So let's get started. Let me just get to my page view, so I can see the comments. Okay. So now I'm gon na take some of this tool. It'S hi Edna 19 inches and I have two pieces. I also have my bracelets and I'm gon na take some bowdabra bow wire and that's just going so now. I'M gon na just cut it in half and also I want to thank all of you guys who shared during the preview that was so nice and if you can share again, I would really appreciate it. So this is just a really cute little bracelet. I'Ve got these three little bangles and then I have 18 inches. This is six inches wide of this tool and I just took some spare tool that was already cut for another project, but I didn't use it and so we're recycling it or should I say, upcycling it so we're just gon na scrunch this down in here and Then I'm going to take these, which are 6 inches long and I've already point cut points on them, because these are gon na, be my petals and I'm just gon na lay these down into my bowdabra and lay this in here and lay this down in here And let's see what we're doing here, then I have my petals and my petals. I'Ve cut a curve on them, and now these are three and a half inches. So now I'm just gon na scrunch this down, and I want to thank all of you guys who like join me every week or watch the replay um. It means so much to me when you comment when you share when you like bowdabra, when you follow us, because by following us, you're alerted immediately when I go live. So if I go live and it's not a planned, live you'll know that I'm I so now. I'M just gon na take. Oh, I forgot to tell you. These are three all the petals are three whoops, and so now I'm just gon na leave this petal in here and I'm gon na take now this is called punch, NOLA or I call it punch or ribbon and what's cool about this ribbon. Is this actually a remnant, so this at being Earth Day we want to be really sustainable. This is ribbon. They it's what they make sequins out him, so they just punch the sequin hole and then these are remnants of sequins. So we're just gon na scrunch that little piece in here and now just push everything down into my bowdabra and notice that I put the bracelets in right after I put my wire in, and that was so that I could pull my wire up through here. Pull it up, bring it through my Slipknot, and I do everything in just one step so that out separate my ends, bring them around to the back, and I'm just gon na tie a knot here and tie another knot, and actually I need to double knot. It and then I'm just gon na clip the ends really close, so you won't even feel it when you're wearing at so. This is just great that I did. This was Cinco DeMayo in mind, but you can make these bracelets in any color they're perfect for, like the flower, girls they're, almost like a corsage in a way and bring this around. All I'm doing is just separating and then I'm going to take bring it all up here, because I make these with wired ribbon so that would the wired ribbon every module want to know what colors flowers, what color flowers would you use for a classic look for A bicycle basket for a bicycle basket: oh my gosh. I think it do depend on the color of the bike. So if you have a like, if it's just depending really on the color of the bike, I would try to find colors that would match it. So it's like a blue bike and you wanted to do classic. I probably use yellow blues to match and mix the yellows and the blues. I think that would be really pretty they're, not fun, and so super super simple to make. So now I'm gon na put my bracelet aside. Oh, I love this little bracelet. Oh last week, you know what I'm gon na fix. Excuse me for one sec, I'm just going to move my iPad so that I can actually hopefully see the comments. Well, that's not working, is it so we're trying, but it doesn't seem to be working. So I apologize you guys if I'm not commenting, but I absolutely promise last week it was a little remiss, but I absolutely promise to come back and look at all the comments from last week and this week and respond and don't forget right. I want to win because we are gon na give away a free roll of our bowdabra scrunchie ribbon at the end of this. Live so and everybody have loved the ribbons, we've sent them and they share when they get it in the bowdabra fan gallery, which is so cool. So now I'm gon na just fold. Everything in half lay it down into my bowdabra, and I forgot. We have Mother's Day special, so I'm gon na have to walk away in a minute to show you and Earth Day too. So now I've got. Let'S see, I have a yard. Two yards three yards four yards five here, oh wow. We have a lot of ribbon here, six about six yards of this ribbon, which is not on our store right now, but it will be on our store tomorrow. So I'm going to take this and let's see how I think this is. Let me look. It'S six inches wide. That'S what I thought so now! I'M just gon na scrunch this in and we're gon na bake big loops here and bring it back, and I had somebody last week who commented so I'm just gon na keep going back and forth! That'S why it was so long, because this is gon na, be something that you could tie on to avaaz. So just lay this back and forth and keep going so also. You guys, please make sure that you click the follow button and like us on bowdabra, so that you'll be notified anytime. We have a new post new project because we have them all the time. Oh thank you scarlet. I know I did too so now. This is gon na, be something that just kind of hangs down. These are sort of tails, so I've cut these all are 9 10 inches long and I'm just gon na lay these in just alternating them with the red and the green. I'M kind of using this theme of this red and green ribbon. I shall put the green going this way and the red going that way and then what I'm gon na do, because this would be really pretty just as a bow on the table, if you're doing a Cinco, DeMayo or obviously any theme that you want to do So now I have these two ribbons. They'Re one-and-a-half inches wide and let's see how long these are have one yard and two yards. So all I'm seeing the comments. Oh cool scarlet, Edna, Linda yeah, Edna. It is a lot of ribbon. So now what I'm gon na do is twist it and scrunch your Dan and then I'm gon na bring it back over and twist and scrunch it in and now what I'm going to do is bring it back and this time I'm gon na twist it. But coming back over here, I'm gon na actually bring the red back twist. It bring the green back over here, the red I mean, then this time I'm going to use the green, and now I'm gon na alternate in also my white. So this is a little different than what we normally do, but I wanted because this ribbon is two-sided. I wanted to make sure that I get all the sides all the colors so now do that back with the green, and here we're gon na come back over with the white and let's twist it and bring the white back over here and now I can take My red and bring the red end come back over with the red here and then we'll just finish with a few little loops of the white, so it makes it really super in easy, easy. So and again, I can see that some of you guys have shared. Thank you so very much as I say each week you guys are my marketing department, so your sharing is basically helping me market bowdabra and our ribbons and everything else. So now I'm just going to pull this out separate the ends, bring it around to the back. Just tie this off Oh last week, somebody made a comment and said that you know we make all these bows, but I always wore hats. Well, this hat and these earrings were made by Krystal Donnelly who's, one of our bowdabra designers, and there is a little bow there that she made in the mini bowdabra. So and she did this painting a vivvy. So it's like really cool and then the earrings she used the bowdabra bow wire and isn't are these beautiful so I'm so lucky to have like such great designers and great friends. So now, I'm just gon na leave that and we'll just push everything out. I'M gon na bring these down, and now I'm gon na shape these ribbons and bring them up here and just separate these hair. So I know Linda she did an amazing job on the earrings and on the Hat she's such Krystal is such a talented artist. Just I mean it blows me away with the designers that we have on her design team are so talented and so creative and crafty, and so then now I could take this vaz and just tie this on the front. That'S high and all I'm doing is just tying a knot around the back and it kind of fell down lower than I wanted it. But let's just bring this through here and that's what I love about wire it is. You can just shape it. However, you like Thank You Edna, yeah, Linda. It is a really good idea to flip the wire and the ribbon because it helps to interchange it. If you don't want it to be a layered bow. So but this is so super simple to make so I'll put that aside and now and it's Earth Day. So, even though we did an Earth Day segment last week, I'm trying to reuse ribbon in this segment so because that's what's pulled out bowdabra. So now I'm going to just fold my wire in half. Thank you Karen and Tamra. Yes, that would be great using that last bow that I just made for a memorial day and using blue in it would make it definitely, and we are gon na, do a patriotic say coming up whoops. I tell you how long this is. So this is 15 and a half inches. I'Ve already dug tell the ends and I'm going to just lay this into the bowdabra. Then I have we use using the same red ribbon because we're figuring this would be the theme of our party. So we want everything to kind of match, and I've got 21 inches and all I'm going to do is take the right side of my ribbon. Put it upside down into my bowdabra and then bring it back around. So I think you guys can see the theme. The colors of the Mexican flag and then now just scrunch that in here then I have let's see these are five inches wide by 8 inches, and I'm just gon na lay these this piece in here and take this next piece and just lay this down in Here and then I have this piece, which is 16 inches by one and a half, take the right side of my ribbon. Oh Marlena, thank you for sharing and put that down in here, and I'm gon na bring this back around again. Take the right side of my ribbon put that down into my bowdabra come back and push it down there so super simple! Then I have these pieces of tubular mesh, which are about four inches long and we just cut them up. They were left over from another project, so they're all different sizes, but again we're recycling with bowdabra. And then I have this cute little rose, which was from something else that we did a long time ago, scrunch that down in there and just give everything a bit push bring it up. Pull back through my Slipknot put tight lock still in the Dabra and if you're watching the replay. Please make sure you. Let me know that you saw it on the replay and now I'm going to just tie a knot and if you're watching us over on YouTube. Please know that every they were live on Facebook at 4 p.m. Pacific 5 p.m. central 6 and 5 p.m. mountain 6 p.m. Central. Now I could just tie this on this. I think this could be really pretty. You can put it like on the wall behind you or you could even tie it on a ponytail holder and it could be a really pretty ponytail bow. So super super simple. I know it's another pretty rose. I have no idea where I got the rose from, but it's just it's lasted a long time and it's been used in a lot of different projects. So I'm gon na put this aside and we are going to well this one I like, because it could be like a little corsage. Maybe if I can take it apart here so and this again would be a really pretty ponytail holder. So that's we're gon na make with this bow here, so we're gon na start with our breen and my bowdabra bow wire and oh in one human. Oh, my gosh watch the scissor sandy I'm having too much fun making all these bows, and I keep forgetting to show you guys some Mother's Day special, because we had such a good response last week that we're gon na offer the the ultimate hair bow kit that We have last week this week and I'll show you what's included in a moment, so I'm gon na now what I'm gon na do is take. This is a grosgrain ribbon, I'm gon na fold it in half and I'm just gon na scrunch them half of it down. How much do I have it's one and a half inches by 34 inches, so I'm just gon na fold it in half and scrunch it. The right side down and then I'm gon na bring this back around and make a loop, and I probably it would be better making this in the mini bowdabra and it come right down. Take the right side. Put it upside down into my bowdabra, then I'm gon na take my first loop that and just scrunch that down and then bring this back over here and scrunch, the second one, because what they did was like Megan axe here and then I'm gon na take my Red tool that is really just a 2-inch wide and 40 inches and all I'm gon na do is just loop, this back and forth, and let's see what we're doing here and we're just gon na kind of loop, it back and forth, and just add this in Here and then I'm gon na just take my roses and actually what we put these together with a glue dot, so I'm gon na actually put them on at the end. So now I'm gon na just pull this through what tight up still in the bowdabra separate the ends, boring it around to the back and tie a knot, and you, when you put these on you're, probably gon na, want to use a glue. That'S gon na hold because these glue dots won't hold up to a little girl running around with a pony tail and not hot tie that really tight and clip it and just shape everything and take my little roses and put those in the center. And I actually clip this tail and there you have a really super super simple, easy to make ponytail holder. So I'm going to probably go a couple of minutes over today, but I do want to show you this kit, so I'm just gon na walk it over and pull the box from here. So sorry guys, I didn't - I forgot to put this over here and I'll. Show you I'll show you what's included with your ultimate hair, bow? Okay, so you actually get all of these beautiful ribbons. I know you've seen me work with them before and they are one-and-a-half inches by three yards of each color. So that's a really good deal and then we're gon na also get the mini bowdabra and you're gon na get mini bowdabra hair, bow tool. Roller and you're gon na get a roll of bowdabra bow wire. Now, what's so cool about the mini tool? Is it actually comes with a CD that you that links up to a downloadable ebook and it's sort of an interactive software, so I want to just show you under my whole mess here, but this okay. This is not good sandy. What the book would be if you actually downloaded and printed it, which is why we include it so there's step literally step by step picture instructions for 70 different, pear bows. So I just wanted to share that with you and the code will it will be good till Mother's Day and it's Mother's Day 15. I believe it's Mother's Day, 15 Cherry's gon na put it up. So thank you guys so much for liking. This. I don't like to be salesy when I'm doing but lives by every once in a while. I have to do something so we pay for them right and so no Tamra. Thank you so much. I'M gon na start this fun bow here. Take my note. You with okay, we're okay! So now I moved everything out of my way and now I'm all flustered, so we're gon na make this bow and then we're gon na make one more boat after it. So since we had the Punchinello, we decided to use it as sort of a tail on this bow. So I've got the Punchinello is three three inches wide and 31 inches long and all I'm doing is just laying this in as a tail and I'm taking another piece, the same size and just laying it down into my bowdabra. Then I have our beautiful. This is our fourth website shape. Well, even the bat, the wrong side of the ribbon is pretty, but this is our beautiful. It'S catherine's collection ribbon, and so now what I'm gon na do. I'Ve got. Let'S see, one yard. I have two yards of this ribbon and we're just gon na make and what I loved about this is, even though it really is more for, like for a holiday time, it's perfect for Cinco DeMayo, because the Reds and the greens and the gold are Cinco DeMayo Colors so we're gon na fold it and twist and fold and twist Edna. Thank you. This really is that every single ribbon that that Katherine's collection has is oh they're, more gorgeous each ribbon is more gorgeous than the last. So now we'll just take my wand scrunch. It down in here and now pull this up through my Slipknot and pull it tight, while it's still in the bowdabra separate the ends, bring them around to the back. Tie this off clips and tie a knot, and I could I could leave this or use it to tie it on to something you could put this on the baz or you know, on a margarita on a margarita bowl this, and I mean how super simple with This ribbon, though, it's just oh, my gosh fabulous such beautiful, beautiful ribbon. So in about a minute we're going to announce the the new winner for this week's free role of bowdabra scrunchie ribbon and, if you're watching the replay. So I believe it's being picked right now. So should be up in just a second, if you're watching the replay, though I'm I am just getting everything I just lucky, I didn't cut my foot off with them so um. Now I'm gon na just take some bowdabra bow wire fold it in half and cut it and lay this down into my bowdabra and if you are watching the replay just remember we go luck, please light. If you follow us, you'll get notified when we go live. This is 17 inches by two and a half inches, so I've dug tell the end, then we're just gon na scrunch that in then I have this piece that is two and half inches wide and 24 inches long and we're just gon na make a loop here. Take the right side of the ribbon put it in upside down. Oh Timmy, congratulations on winning! Please make sure that you private message, bowdabra and with your eat, eat with your address and email and we'll get that off to you right away and now I'm gon na see we've got 14 and a half inches by one and a half inches. I'M just gon na fold that in half and lay that down - and so we've got here - I have 18 and a half by one and a half and I'm gon na just now take the right side. Put it upside down. Do the same thing: the little loop. I mean this is so simple guys anybody, you know, can't tie a bow. This is a perfect gift. It'S perfect for Mother's Day and with our Mother's Day, special anybody that has new grandbabies. Oh I you know Here. I am talking 11 inches by this again. This is a one and a half inch wide ribbon, and then, let's see here so I have 14 inches by one and a half inches. Take the right side. Lay this down, bring it back over here and scrunch it down in there. So what I was going to say is the Mother's Day feel that you have is perfect for a new grandmother or anybody that has little girls, that they want to make Care bows for it's a great Mother's Day. Cap, we'll pull this out separate the ends, bring it around to the back and tie a knot. I think I'll tie knot and double knot and I apologize it sounds like somebody's gardener is outside. So if you're hearing that I'm sorry and then you can just tie this onto a ponytail holder, this also would make a really pretty horse show bow for little girls.
