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.
