Materials:

1.5” wide Wired Velvet Ribbon
Pipe cleaners or Bowdabra Bow Wire
Large Bowdabra

Instructions:

Twist two chenille stems together and place them in the Bowdabra.  You can alternately use Bowdabra bow wire by cutting a length folding it in half and laying it in the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side which will serve as your slip knot. If you are adding tails, place them in the Bowdabra at this point.

Next, place the red, wired velvet ribbon into the Bowdabra leaving about an inch of overhang. Twist and bring to the other side making a loop making sure the right side is facing up.

Continue twisting and folding to make loops back and forth. This is a tree topper bow so make sure the loops are big. Continue making loops until you have about 10-15 loops per side.

Now, twist the chenille stems tightly and remove them from the Bowdabra.  When using bow wire, thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra.  Remove from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot and double or triple knot.

Fluff and open the loops and pull them apart to arrange the tree top bow. Pull the tails (if you added them) down. You have a festive tree topper bow perfect as a finishing touch for a tree, or you can also use it for a super large gift. Is anyone getting a car this year?
