Bowdabra designer, Julia is here today to show you how to make a super easy Christmas bow with Bowdabra. Use this bow for a myriad of applications, from package trims to home decor! This video has Spanish subtitles for our Spanish speaking crafters.
Scissors
Christmas greenery
First cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Next, place the greenery with berries into the Bowdabra. For tails in order for the cardinals to be facing the right direction cut two pieces and place them in the Bowdabra separately.
Now, start making your bow by placing the ribbon right side down. Twist and fold the ribbon making loops back and forth making sure the right side is always facing up. Make the loops smaller as you add them and the final loop will be the smallest.
Now scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back and tie a knot. Tie a double knot for extra security.
Fluff and arrange the bow by separating the loops and pulling the florals around. To finish, dovetail the ends. And be sure and like us on
