Materials:

100-Yard Bowdabra Bow Wire

Large Bowdabra

1½” Red Ribbon Roll

7/8″ Pink Ribbon Roll

18″ Grapevine Wreath

Red Tulip, Pink Tulip flower & leaves picks

Hot Glue

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, long lengths of 1 ½” and 7/8” wide ribbons for the tails and place them in the Bowdabra.

Now, create a funky bow style bow. Fold lengths of ribbon in half with a loop on one side and two tails on the other, like an awareness ribbon. Then, place them in the Bowdabra alternating the sides of loops and tails.

Repeat this process using alternating colors and widths of ribbons. Continue until you have about three loops on each side.

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.

Use the excess wires to secure the bow to your grapevine wreath. Dovetail all the tails. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold. Fluff and arrange the bow.

Next, add the red tulips one at a time, all around the wreath, using hot glue to secure. Repeat with the pink tulips, working all around the wreath in a pleasing arrangement.

Finally, add the tulip leaves all around to fill in any bare places on the wreath. You have a gorgeous spring tulip wreath, and it only took a few minutes to create, start to finish.
