2. She places 24” lime green mesh right into the Bowdabra.
3. Next, she creates big 3 loops on each side of the Bowdabra with the sky-white printed ribbon roll.
4. This time she picks Green-sky chequered ribbon roll and creates 3 medium loops on each side of the Bowdabra.
5. She opts for a Sky ribbon roll and adds 2 loops on either side of the Bowdabra with a cute button loop in the center.
6. To secure the bow she brings the green bow stem from one side to another and puts a knot.
