How to make and add a bow to a handmade greeting card with Bowdabra

Supplies:

Mini Bowdabra
Bow Wire
Ribbon

Instructions:

First, start by placing the Bow Wire in the Bowdabra and folding it underneath while working on your bow.   Then, cut a 6″ length of ribbon and place it in the Bowdabra.

Next, lay some ribbon in the Bowdabra and create 3 loops on either side of the channel.

Pull up on the Bow Wire and tie off.  Fluff out the bow

Create a handmade greeting card, and adhere the bow to the card before placing the image.

Finish assembling the card.
Using a craft pick, twirl the bow wire.

Cut the ribbon lengths and fluff out the bow.  You can alternately add a Bowdabra bow to a purchased greeting card as well.
