Instructions:
First, cut a length of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and lay it in the Bowdabra. This will be your slip knot. Tuck the ends under while you are making your bow.
Next, wrap the wire wreath form all around with some burlap ribbon. Now, find the center of some black mesh, roll the ends under, and then scrunch it down into the Bowdabra. Then take the ends of the mesh and bring one end across and scrunch it in the Bowdabra. Repeat with the other end of the meah, making a shoelace bow. Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.
Next, using the orange burlap ribbon, make a multi-loop twist and fold bow. Scrunch in the ribbon, then bring the ribbon across and scrunch down, twist, and repeat. 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.
Now, lay in the ornamental pick. Using some non-wired ribbon, repeat for a fold and twist bow, making the loops a bit smaller.
Finally, take some of the Bowdabra scrunchy ribbon and scrunch it down into the Bowdabra from the top like an accordion.
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.
Use the excess wire to tie the bow to the prepared wreath form. Arrange the ribbons and you have a charming Halloween wreath for your door!
