How to make a stunning presentation bouquet

Hi, I’m Sandy Sandler, the creator of Bowdabra. In this video, I’ll show you how to create a beautiful Bowdabra® presentation bouquet that’s both easy and fun! Perfect for any occasion, this bouquet is a fantastic way to showcase your creativity and use up any scrap ribbon you have. Let’s dive in and make something special together!

Materials:

• 3-4 years of 1.5″ wide wired ribbon
• 2-3 Small bushes of artificial florals, including some foliage
• Large Bowdabra
• Bowdabra Bow Wire
• Daisy ribbon
• Gingham ribbon

Instructions

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire.  Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side.  This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.

Next, lay in a bouquet in the Bowdabra.

Then, place some lengths of ribbon that have been dovetailed in the Bowdabra for the tails.

Now, using the gingham ribbon, create a funky bow. Fold lengths of ribbon in half with a loop on one side and two tails on the other, like an awareness ribbon. Repeat with the daisy ribbon, alternating the loops and tails.

Continue adding ribbon in this manner, alternating the colors of ribbon.

Finally, using the gingham ribbon, insert it into the Bowdabra from the top and scrunch down like an accordion for a scrunchy bow

Now, scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.  Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot.  Tie a double knot for extra security. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy!

To finish your presentation bouquet, adjust the bow by pulling the tails down and opening the loops of the bow.
