How to Make an Easy Spring Wall Hanging with Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here, sharing a Spring wall hanging using the Bowdabra to create a fabulous bow.

Supplies:
Bowdabra Mini Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Ribbon – 1 1/2″ Daisies & Butterflies

Instructions:

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire, 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.

Cut 2 pieces of ribbon approximately 6″ in length, then place in the Bowdabra.
Dove tail the ends.

Create the bow by placing the ribbon in the channel, twisting the ribbon on each turn.
Use the Bow Wand to push the loops into the channel.

Pull up on the bow wire, threading the ends through the loop.
Pull tight, turn to the back, and tie a knot.

Fluff out the loops.

Tie the bow to the edge of the wall hanging.

Create the wall hanging, then tie the ribbon.
The ribbon colors were perfect for this spring wall hanging.

Thanks for stopping by.
