Now, bend your first floral bush in half, and place it in the Bowdabra. Then add the 5″wide ribbon tail followed by making a two-loop bow. (To make a two-loop bow, place one end in the Bowdabra, bring the other end across, and scrunch it in the Bowdabra, then scrunch down the middle.)
Next lay in the yellow and green ribbons that are added together with double-sided tape. Next, add some velvet lace to the tails. Now, fold a purple floral bush in half and add it to the Bowdabra, follow this with yellow florals on both sides.
Adding floral bushes
