Materials:

Hydrangea stem

2.5″ wide wired burlap ribbon

1″ wide velvet ribbon

Bowdabra Bow Wire

18″ grapevine wreath

large wreath attachment

Instructions:

First, cut a long length of Bowdabra bow wire. Fold it in half and place it in the Bowdabra.  Tuck the ends underneath to stay out of the way while you are making your wreath attachment.

Next, lay in some stems, picks, and bushes. Bend the florals to make sure they will not slip. Keep adding florals, bushes, and greenery. Bend a large flower bush in half and place it so that they are on both sides of the attachment.

Add the pompous grass. Now, start layering the sunflowers and a large hydrangea.

Make the bow:

Next, take some burlap ribbon and dovetail the ends. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold. Find the center and place it in the Bowdabra to hang down. Add some velvet ribbon tails on top of the burlap tails

Now, make a little shoe bow. Find the center of a piece of ribbon and scrunch it down into the Bowdabra.  Now bring one side across and scrunch down, then bring the other side across and scrunch down.

Repeat this step with the velvet ribbon. Place a flower on top of the 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.

Fluff and arrange all the ribbon and florals. Use the excess wires to tie the large wreath attachment to your grapevine wreath!
