How to Make a Great Holiday Bow from an Expert!

Ed produced a training video showing how to make a great bow for the Garden Club of The Back Bay's Wreath Week fund raising event. It was intended for them to use to train volunteers, but they decided to share it with everyone. 

If you've always wanted to make a great bow for your holiday wreath or a special gift, this video will make it easy for you to use wired ribbon to create the bow of your dreams! And, listen when Margaret tells you that twisting that wire tight is the key– it is!

We'd like to thank Margaret Pokorny for her great presentation and for letting us share her expertise with our readers.

    Fantastic – the video, the demo and the wreath! One of life’s greatest mysteries solved – and so beautifully!
    Thanks, Ed!
    (I think dog sized versions of those should be sported on the Sunday Dogs for the duration of the holiday season. Perhaps Maggie would model one?)

    This is a fantastic organization and we really appreciate what they do for the Back Bay neighborhood.
    Here’s to beautiful bows!
    Maggie has picked a favorite pose for our Christmas Sunday Dog. She’s a snow bunny and is missing the snow this year. You’ll have to check in on Christmas Day to see her. But, she declined to have me photoshop a bow into it. She’s a bit of a tomboy.
