How to Create Charming Photos with Easy Spring Pet Bows

Hello and welcome!  Shelly with you today sharing my Spring pet bows!  I love taking seasonal pictures of all my fur babies – and with the Bowdabra Bowmaker, it is fast and easy to create bow ties, collar bows and headpieces for holiday pictures.

Let’s dress our dogs!  You will need:

• Bowdabra Mini
• Bowdabra Bow Wire – Silver  (cut to 18″ for each bow)
• Bunny Ears Headband (I picked this up for under $2 on clearance after last Easter)
• 8 – 15 scrap pieces of ribbon 4″
• 2 buttons or gemstones
• Hot Glue Gun

Bowdabra Spring Pet Bows

Let’s get started:

• Trim the ends of your ribbon pieces to points – set aside
• Fold Silver Bowdabra Wire in half and place across Bowdabra and wrap the ends underneath to keep out of the way while you are working

• Layer your ribbon pieces on the Bowdabra (going from widest to thinnest width)
• Scrunch ribbons down using Bowdabra Wand
• Pull Wire from underneath Bowdabra, thread loose ends through looped end and pull tight.  Pull wire to the back, knot and trim excess

• Fluff ribbons and attach to bunny ears with a hot glue gun
• Using hot glue gun, attach a button or jewel to finish.

These layered bows are for sure a favorite of mine – they are quick and easy and can be used in so many different ways!
