There's no better time to re-introduce this forgotten & clever tool more than now. With presents getting wrapped and Christmas shopping galore, 
Janell's Dial-a-Bow makes a perfect return for some holiday cheer! Our super sweet neighbor passed this handy tool along to my girls. The set came complete with gorgeous, vintage, satin & velvet ribbon. I spent the morning playing around and creating some beautiful bows thanks to a well kept guide. 
Who says it's for kids? I loved it! Ya know, I hear bow making used to be quite the crafty thing. And yeah, even though you can get a giant bow bag for 99 cents, it's not quite the same as making them yourself. So.... here's a look at some experimental bow making:)

| My first bow |

| The bow is created upside down.  When complete, just press on the red dial and your bow pops right off!

| Getting the hang of it! |

| I'm still trying to master the rose bow and I think the key is thinner ribbon! | 
You can find bow makers at great prices & the pins are still available for purchase too!
Check out Ebay & Etsy before you head to your local craft store!
Here's to making what's outside the box just as important as the inside:)
