By Bowdabra Design Team

Design a little Easter hostess gift, teacher’s gift, or co-workers gift using a small teacup.  Purchase a teacup at the Dollar Store, local consignment shop, or recycle one that you already have on hand.  Fill the teacup with shredded basket filler, add little candies, and finish with a Mini Bowdabra Bow.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:

1. Begin by purchasing or recycling a teacup.  Fill the teacup with basket filler.

2. Tie 3/16″ picot ribbon around the rim of the teacup.  Optional: Use small little Glue Dots to hold the ribbon in place.

3. To create a bow for the front of the teacup first place the Hair Bow Tool & Ruler onto the Mini Bowdabra.  Cut 18″ of Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold it in half and place it into the Mini Bowdabra.
