I always wish that I had an extra hand when tying floral bows, so I came up with this homemade tool to make it easier. The tool takes less than 3 minutes to make and is made out of a paper box that you find at a grocery store. Don’t laugh…it so works and it is a green project!
I love learning from all of you and I would love to hear your bow tying tips! Enjoy the video!

Stay tuned for a fun filled Fab Five Friday.

Linda, love the tool...too funny...but it worked.
Talk to you soon.
Megan.
Thanks for the tip and very interesting tool. Very inexspensive
tool. Beautiful bow.
Okay, so it's a little funny that you use a box...But, it's pure genius, in disguise! I love fussy wrapping. With a meager income, the packaging often exceeds the gifts themselves. Frustration led me to give up on this type of bow, long ago. I will be employing this technique, and trying again. Thank you!
Thanks everyone. Hopefully I will have my video on this page soon. Technical issues! Yikes!

Over the years I have tied this type of bow, with lots of frustration! What a great idea! Thanks for taking the time to make a video for us once you came up with the concept!
You make it look easy. I have a bow maker and still could not get them looking like that. TFS
Very nice Linda!
What an awesome idea!! I will be "borrowing" boxes from Meijer tomorrow!:)
Wow Linda, this is wonderful. I lack putting bows on my gifts but after seeing this I am game to try and perhaps this Christmas everyone will be amazed they have bows. LOL
Love the frugal tools :)

I love this tutorial. I have never heard of "ribbon wire" can you tell us where to get it?
Cindy, thanks for the question. The ribbon wire that I used is called Bow Wire and it is made by Bowdabra. It comes in packages of 50 ft and you can buy either silver or gold. I bought mine at Michaels. Sorry I can't remember how much it was.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a million. I'm anxious to try this!
