Instruction for Making Bow to Jazz Up a Halloween Banner
- Cut your bow wire, tulle, and ribbon for each bow. Quickly pass the ribbon ends through a flame to seal the ends.
- Fold bow wire in half and place in the Mini Bowdabra. Tuck the ends under the Mini Bowdabra so they are out of your way.
- Scrunch each piece of glitter tulle into the Mini Bowdabra.
- Layer the ribbon in the Mini Bowdabra, placing the widest ribbon first.
- Compress the tulle and ribbons with the Mini Bowdabra wand.
- With the bow still in place in the Mini Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and tighten securely.
- Bring the wire ends to the back of the bow and tight in a secure knot. Leave the wire ends long to use in attaching the bows to the banner.
- Decide how many bows you will need. I made one to go between each banner tile and one for each end.
- Add the bows to your banner using the bow wire tails.
- Enjoy!!
