The first step in almost any bow making is always placing the Bowdabra bow wire in the Bowdabra, folded in half and with its ends tucked underneath, out of the way. Sandy starts with laying a piece of silver trim in the Mini Bowdabra and adds three pieces of ribbon leaves 5” long and 1.5” wide over it. She further adds another three pieces of 3” long and 1.5” wide pink ribbon petals that have pearly edges to the arrangement before scrunching everything in with the Bowdabra wand. Tied up with the Bowdabra bow wire the elegant hair bow takes shape which can be attached to a ponytail hover or used as a beautiful wristband.

Placing another 1.75” blue ribbon over the dove-tailed ribbon in Bowdabra, she adds a third blue ribbon piece and scrunches it all in with the Bowdabra wand.
