Instructions for Making the Easter Bow Headband
- Cut ribbons to appropriate lengths. Quickly pass the ribbon ends through a flame to seal.
- Fold the bow wire in half and put in the Bowdabra. Tuck the ends of the wire under the Bowdabra to keep them out of the way.
- Scrunch the tulle into the Bowdabra.
- Make a bow with five loops on each side of the Bowdabra post.
- Add the six lengths of colored accent satin ribbon to the Bowdabra.
- Compress the ribbons with the Bowdabra wand.
- With the ribbons still in the Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and tighten.
- Remove the bow from the Bowdabra, bring the wire ends to the back side of the bow, and tie a secure knot. Trim the wire ends to about 1/4″.
- Place a dot of adhesive on the center of the back side of the bow. Wrap the 1/4″ satin ribbon once around the bow. Clamp in place if necessary. Let adhesive dry thoroughly. Do not trim the wrapping ribbon.
- Attach the bow the the headband using the remaining length of the 1/4″ wrapping ribbon and adhesive. Let adhesive dry thoroughly.
- Add focal point charm with adhesive to the front of the bow.
