Once the cording is dry, glue on the ears to the bunny head. 

While the bunny ears are drying, let’s make an adorable bow using the Mini Bowdabra!

Make the Bowdabra bow:

Insert an 18″ piece of bow wire folded in half into the Mini Bowdabra, tucking ends under. Then take a 10″ strip of ribbon and pinch the ribbon in the middle and insert it down into the Mini Bowdabra for the bow tails.

Dovetail the ends by folding each end together and cutting at an angle from the corner end over to the opposite fold at an angle.

Next, pinch the end of the ribbon on the roll, placing it down into the Mini Bowdabra.

 

Create a loop by folding over the ribbon at the 3″ mark on the ruler.  Gather the ribbon (since it looks the same on both sides) down into the Mini Bowdabra, smoothing the ribbon out.

                              

On the opposite side, fold over the ribbon at the 3″ mark, creating another loop, gathering the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra.

 

Next, make another loop, folding over at the 2.5″ mark, gathering the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra and .  .  .

 

making another 2.5″ loop on the opposite side for a total of four loops (two on each side)

 

Use the Mini Bowdabra wand to crunch down the bow, using scissors to cut off the excess ribbon.

 

Leave about two inches of ribbon for the finish center, and crunch down the bow again to cut off the excess ribbon.

 

While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the bow wire through the loop, pulling tightly while gently pulling the bow out.

Then adjust the center ribbon fabric into a decorative knot.

 

Attach the bow to the top of the bunny head and in between the ears using hot glue, and then once dry, fluff the bow for a gorgeous look!

Makes for a sweet springtime and Easter bunny head wall hanging for the home!
