How to make a stunning velvet tree-topper with Bowdabra

Bowdabra creator, Sandy Sandler, is here to show you the easy way to make a stunning velvet tree-topper that doubles as a door bow!  Watch this quick video DIY and make one or several!

Materials:

Bowdabra® Bow Maker

Bowdabra Bow Wire

5 yds – 5” wide Red wired velvet ribbon

Hanging a Wisteria stem

Flat Cedar leaf

2 – Long berry stems

Hydrangea stem/pick with foliage

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, add the tails into the Bowdabra. For the tree-topper bow, you may want to make the tails extra-long.

Now, twist the wired velvet ribbon, making sure the wrong side is on the inside of the bow. Bring the ribbon across to make a loop, and scrunch down, twist, and repeat. End by scrunching down the end into the Bowdabra. Now, scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.

Next, add the florals and berry stems into the Bowdabra. Finally, add the hydrangea and foliage to cover any stems.

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 out and arrange the loops on the bow and the foliage. You have a super simple and stunning velvet tree-topper or door bow.
