Using your kids artwork for gift wrap is a wonderful way to share their masterpieces. Their artwork can be shared with family 
and friends as gift wrap. As a parent, I never want to throw away their creative work but what to do with it all? Reuse and recycle their work as wrapping paper.

11. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra.
12. Gently pull the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow and knot.
13. Fluff the bow and spiral the remaining Bowdabra Bow Wire.
