How to make a no-sew shamrock pinwheel hair bow

Create an adorable St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Hair bow using the Mini Bowdabra®—no sewing required! In this quick tutorial, Sandy Sandler (creator of the Bowdabra® Bow Maker) shows you how easy it is!

Materials:

2” wide Grosgrain ribbon

6 Corker ribbons

Shamrock pick

Ponytail holder

Mini Bowdabra bow maker

Bowdabra bow wire

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 hair bow.

Next, find the center of the grosgrain ribbon.  Pinch a mountain fold and place it right side down in the Mini Bowdabra.

Now, bring one side across and make another mountain fold and scrunch it down into the Mini Bowdabra. Repeat with the opposite side, making sure the tail is facing down. (Pinwheel made)

Scrunch everything down and add some corker ribbons in the center. Finally, add a mini shamrock right in the center.

Scrunch down with the Bowdabra wand and 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.

Use the excess bow wire to tie the hair bow to the ponytail holder. Shape and arrange the shamrock pinwheel hair bow.
