Instructions:

First, wrap the candy cane wreath form all around and set aside.

Next, 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.

Now, lay in the evergreen pick and the silver berry pick right into the Bowdabra.

Next, place the tails into the Bowdabra.  Then, make the bow.  Scrunch in the ribbon, then bring the ribbon across and scrunch down, twist, and repeat. Graduate the loops getting smaller as you go. Continue making loops back and forth, twisting and scrunching down into the Bowdabra.  Make sure the wrong sides are always on the inside of the bow. For the last loop, turn under and push down.

Now, add the second silver berry pick.

To finish, 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!

Shape out and arrange the bow. Use the excess wire to attach the bow to the best candy cane wreath, and it only took a few minutes!!
