A Bowdabra Christmas

There’s no doubt that the holidays are a great time for family crafts and decorating together. Have you ever seen someone “Deck the Halls” with bows? Bows on the tree, bows on the stairways, bows on the railings outside…bows on presents. A Bowdabra Christmas is the chic festive holiday decorating scheme this year. Whether your theme is silver or red and green or the new blue or purple, with Bowdabra bows, you can achieve the snazzy presentation you’re looking for.

Gift wrap Bows
Top presents off with your home-made Bowdabra bows, with ribbons to match the wrapping paper. Or go ultra-chic with mixed fabrics and ribbons that contrast and compliment. New blue wrapping pops with silver, glittery bows and the even newer purples are accented with stylish gold bows. Kids will love crafting these bows and helping you attach them to the presents.

Stairways and Railings
Make a variety of diverse (or matching) bows to adorn the indoor and outdoor stairways and railings in and around the house. Get the kids involved with picking the colored ribbon out, designing the bows and tying them around the house. 

Christmas Hair Bows
These are awesome for presents for nieces and granddaughters, classmates and even your own daughter. Create them with the kids or make some new surprise hair bows to wrap and stuff into the stockings. Let your daughter make a hair bow for each of the girls in her class and spread the spirit of Christmas giving or take them to church and give them out. 

Bowdabra hair bows also great crafts to sell at craft fairs for holiday fundraising! People love the craft fairs during the holidays. Whether it’s for church, school, or to make some extra cash of your own this season, whip up some of these easy-to-make crafts and see how fast the sell! 

Bow Wreaths 
Add Bowdabra bows to a pre-made wreath. This is another perfect craft fair/fundraiser idea. You can make regular sized bows for an elegant and large wreath or mini bows for a smaller wreath. Hang your home-made wreaths around your own house as well – you’re sure to receive some compliments on these!

Tree Bows
Have you ever seen a Christmas tree decorated with bows instead of ornaments? You might see this is one of the major department stores, rather than glass ornaments. Elegant and classy, chic and stylish barely covers the presence that a tree decorated with bows displays. In addition, they’re also not breakable like the conventional glass ornaments. Instead of a star this year, make a large bow to top the tree, and then tie colorful – or completely matching – bows on the ends of the branches around the tree.

Make your Christmas a Bowdabra Christmas this year. Get your children, family, friends, and neighbors together, put out some snacks and drinks and have a Bowdabra festivity crafting party. There’s nothing better than being with the people who you love and creating new and easy decorations that will last for years to come.
