Our easy to make Mini Bowdabra Dog Bows can be attached to either latex bands or small clips. We use the Mini Bowdabra 
Hair Bow Tool & Ruler to measure our bow loops to make perfect exact bows every time. Dog Bows are perfect after your fur-baby has been groomed, or in a dog show, or just for fun!
When making dog bows for smaller dogs use the metric side of our Hair Bow Tool & Ruler for small even loops.

Instructions:
1. Begin by gathering your materials. You will need a Mini Bowdabra, Bowdabra Hair Bow Tool and Ruler,
and Bowdabra Bow Wire.
2. Place the Bowdabra ® Hair Bow Tool and Ruler (cm side) onto the Mini Bowdabra, leaving a space at the bottom for the Mini Bowdabra tower to move. Cut an 18” piece of Bowdabra Bow Wire and fold it in half. Lay it into the Mini Bowdabra. You’ll have a loop at one end and two loose pieces at the opposite end. To make the 4cm wide bottom bow cut the ribbon 21cm long. Seal each end with clear nail polish. Begin by placing one end into the Mini Bowdabra.
3. Fold the other ribbon end of the Mini Bowdabra towers and place into the Mini Bowdabra.
4. Using the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler as your guide position the loops evenly and symmetrically. Crease and press the ribbon in the center, into the Mini Bowdabra.
5. To make the 3cm wide top bow cut the ribbon 16cm long. Seal each end with clear nail polish. Begin by placing one end into the Mini Bowdabra.
6. Fold the other ribbon end of the Mini Bowdabra towers and place into the Mini Bowdabra.
7. Using the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler as your guide position the loops evenly and symmetrically. Crease and press the ribbon in the center, into the Mini Bowdabra.
8. Scrunch down with Mini Bowdabra Wand.
9. While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Mini Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end.
10. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra.
11. Gently pull the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow and knot.
Option 1: Attach two 5/16” medium latex elastics using the Bowdabra Bow Wire. Bring the wire back to the front of the bow, knot, and then trim away the excess wire.
Option 2: Attach a small french clip using the Bowdabra Bow Wire. Bring the wire back to the front of the bow, knot, and then trim away the excess wire.
Using hot glue attach two small rhinestones on the front of the bow to hide the Bowdabra Bow Wire. Dog Bows are ready to be worn!
Both style hair clips work great for dogs. Experiment to find the one that works the best for your small dog.
The Hair Bow Tool and Ruler easily fits over the Mini Bowdabra. Bowdabra Ribbons Crafts & Things Store sells the items individually or you can purchase the Hair Bow Creator Pack which comes with the Mini Bowdabra, Hair Bow Tool, & Ribbon.
