What is Bowdabra?
Bowdabra is a unique tool that makes bows in no time! Small bows for tiny gift wrapping or big bows for your lovely home decor, anything is possible with Bowdabra tool.
Behind the invention of this goof-proof bow maker is a woman with her gift basket business and the desire to make the best-looking basket gift ever. Sandy Sandler, the creator of Bowdabra, has transformed the gift wrapping from hard to fun and beautiful.
The Story Behind Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Sandy Sandler shares her entrepreneurial experience of getting her invention into the hands of people.
It was extremely difficult to get Bowdabra into the market because the space was already populated. I knew I had to approach the marketing from a different angle if I wanted attention.
I used all my airline miles and flew to Germany to attend “Christmas World” (the biggest crafting and holiday trade show at the time.) While I was there, I networked with industry professionals and made connections with ribbon manufacturers.
One invited me to showcase Bowdabra at their booth and when they saw how many people loved Bowdabra, they agreed to distribute it, and this was my ticket in. I got into the European market, the Australian market, and then, finally, the US market.
What are the features behind the Bowdabra bow maker?
When you have a simple gift presentation, like brown paper or any cool craft paper, you can turn it into a Bowdabra sensation!
- Create 3 different bow sizes: large, mini and hair bow
- Make it an upcycled gift wrapping by using leftover fabrics, ribbons and laces to make some extraordinary bows ever!
- Surprise yourself and others with unique usage of bows on gift boxes, cookie and cocoa giftable jars, holiday and birthday cards.
Creative ways to wrap your own holiday gift or birthday gift, or even baby shower or bridal shower gifts – you can outdo any shop in town with Bowdabra! You can buy your own tool HERE (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases).
You can easily wrap some awesome Tech Gifts decorated with a Bowdabra bow!
I love crafting and using recyclable brown paper for my gifts. I save any brown paper bags from shopping and reuse them as gift wrapping materials for my Holiday Season.
Another thing I discovered about how to beautify my gifts is do enclose big or small size Bowdabra bows inside the gift, where it is possible.
Small gift items like skin care or other products we use for everyday selfcare could use a decorative Bowdabra bow.
Creative ways to wrap and decorate
The other day, I dropped off my Secret Santa boxes to the local women’s shelter to be distributed to the women with kids who live there. I enclosed small and big bows made with Bowdabra into the gift boxes with gifts and colorful tissue paper. Placing a Bowdabra masterpiece on top of the gift completed my gift to a person. Yet when a gift receiver will open the box, they will be treated with a bright and creative bow made from my heart.
Whatever your celebrations are, you can create unforgettable experiences with gift wrapping with Bowdabra!
