I actually bought these at the dollar store. They were really inexpensive, for like 6r8 of them. And what you have to do first is make sure you clean it really well, and then you can put in any kind of red candy, and put the cap on tight. And then I have these really cute little hearts. This one says, "You're hot!" And I'm just going to put a little glue dot there and just glue that onto the top. And then on this one, it says "Be Mine!" And then I'm going to layer them, and I like to put the "Be Mine!" on top, but that's just a personal preference. Then I'm taking some of our red Scrunchie Ribbon, and I'm going to -- let me just grab some Bowdabra Bow Wire. I don't need very much of it. So, I'm taking some of my wire and I'm using my Scrunchie Ribbon as my gift wrap. So, I'm going to center, as you see, I'm kind of centering these, and I'm just going to pull that together tight here, take my wire, and the nice thing about the Bowdabra Bow Wire is you can just twist it. So, all I'm doing is twisting it really tight. And then I'll just clip this here. I probably twisted it about 5 or 6 times. Then what I'm going to do is just take my Bowdabra Scrunchie Ribbon (Do the same thing to cover the other sides of the package) Then this time I'm going to just tie it (Tie it tight, knot, and clip the ends) And then there's a little gift basket trick, which is I'm going to take a glue dot and I'm just going to put -- let me get this out of the way -- I'm just going to take this and I'm just going to kind of twist the end here and tuck the glue dot right there. I'll put the glue dot first, so you can see what I'm doing here, and then I'm going to just kind of twist this and glue it. That way it holds it down. (Do the same to the other side) That gives it a nice finished look. And I'm going to put this aside, and now I'm going to make my bow. So, I'm going to take my Mini Bowdabra and I'm going to take a piece of Bowdabra Bow Wire, and I'm going to fold it in half and lay it into my Mini Bowdabra and just tuck the ends underneath so that they stay out of my way. They're not attaching to anything. And as you'll see when we do this, there's springs that are going to help the Mini Bowdabra adapt. Now I'm taking a piece of our silver Scrunchie Ribbon, and I'm actually going to cut it in half. And we're going to use both pieces. The first thing that I'm going to do is just kind of scrunch this in here so it's in the middle. And this is going to be my tails for my little bow. Then I’m going to take the red Scrunchie Ribbon and I'm going to scrunch that down into my Bowdabra. And I pretty much just center it. Now I'm going to take my wand and just kind of push everything down. Then I'm going to take these cute little beads, and I'm just going to kind of put them up that way. And then I have these beads, and I'm just going to lay them going down the other way. And I have these cute little pearl beads. And that's what's cool with Bowdabra is you can put as much or as little as you want. And then I'm going to do a little scrunchie bow right on top with the other half of the Scrunchie Ribbon that I cut before. I'm going to take my wand, I'm going to scrunch everything down, and then I'm going to take my Bowdabra Bow Wire, I have my slipknot because I folded it in half before I -- when I first put it in. I'm going to hold my bow down and pull the wire really, really tight so the bow, when I pull it out, I'm not struggling with it. Then I'm going to just bring this around to the back and I'm going to -- whoops, I want to make sure I keep these separate, and now I'm going to just tie a knot. I have this really cute little bow. But I'm going to also add a really cute, and this is actually a foam heart. (Stick on foam hearts) Now you have this adorable little Valentine's Day bow. (Tie bow onto package using the bow wire) And I'm going to actually make a little bow so that it will be easy for the person to take the bow off and save it if they want. And you have this really, really cute little Valentine's Day gift. Please do me a favor and click the Subscribe button below, and also, like us at Bowdabra on Facebook."
