How to use the Bowdabra to make the best gift e bow

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here, sharing how I used the Bowdabra to create a stunning gift bow.  Who doesn’t love getting a beautifully decorated package!

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Making Tool- Large
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Ribbon 

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 10″ in length, then place them in the Bowdabra.

Create the bow by placing the ribbon in the channel, twisting the ribbon on each turn.

Continue creating loops in the same manner and use the Bow Wand to push the loops into the channel.

I created a 5-looped bow, but you can create as many loops as desired.
Next, 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.

Once the package has been wrapped, use the leftover bow wire to tie the bow to the package.

Next, bring the bow wire to the front and wrap it around a crafting tool to create spirals all around your stunning gift bow!
