AbraBowdabra! Beautiful Bows in Minutes!

This is a bow I created for a present for my students using the Bowdabra bow maker. I recently purchased the Bowdabra and the Bowdabra mini. This was the first bow I made and I must say it has changed my attitude toward making bows forever! This tool has been on the market for quite some time. I never thought I would have the use for it as I hate wrapping gifts and always use gift bags because of it. Then I saw the mini and I thought it would definitely come in handy for card making. I had an extra coupon so I thought why not get both! I literally made this beautiful bow in about 3 minutes and it was a wonderful touch to the art easel I presented to my students for Christmas.
