Bowdabra funky bow
Instructions:
First, Cut a length of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it in the Bowdabra. This will be your slipknot.
Next, place the lime posies ribbon in the Bowdabra for the tails. Then, fold another piece in half making a 6-inch loop, and place that in the Bowdabra. Repeat for another loop. Make sure the tails are facing right side up and that the loops are the same size.
Repeat these steps with the next plaid ribbon. Then, do the same thing with the yellow posies ribbon, candy dot ribbon, and pink posies ribbon, finishing with two strips of the hot lime burlap ribbon.
To finish, use a 12″ piece of the lime posies ribbon inserted from the top for a scrunchy style bow.
Finish your funky bow
To finish your bow, thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Turn to the back and tie a knot. Fluff and shape your bow. You have a beautiful spring funky bow you made in minutes with the Bowdabra!
