I have not had time yet to get to Walmart to pick up the Bowdabra. I found some really cute wide wired ribbon at the Dollar Tree for Valentine's Day and I wanted to make some bows for my lanterns. I found this video and it's amazing. It works and even I can do it! Of course my first attempt is not the best but it's good enough for a lantern bow. Just wanted to share. I actually found some vendors on Etsy selling bows made out of the Dollar Tree ribbon and they looked very nice. I do not have all the materials that you would want to have on hand. The video is showing a bow for a pkg. but I just pulled the two loose ends down for tails and I used some twist ties to tie the bow off in the middle. Give it a try if you have some ribbon laying around. It's pretty cool!
