Join Sandy Sandler, the creator of the Bowdabra Bowmaker, as she walks you through a step-by-step tutorial to craft a beautiful fall sunflower wreath using the Bowdabra. Dive into this easy-to-follow guide, perfect for both beginners and seasoned DIY enthusiasts. This wreath is the perfect fall decor piece for your home.
Materials:
Wreath form
Florals: Eucalyptus, roses, sunflower
Whimsical Ribbon in various colors
Pumpkin décor
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Instructions:
First wrap some burlap ribbon all around a wreath form and attach together with hot glue.
Next, 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.
Then, lay in your floral bush making sure it is even on both sides. Now, add the Eucalyptus stems on each side. Follow with the roses and the sunflower. Finally, add the sparkly pumpkin.
Next, lay in a piece of the whimsical ribbon. Then take the longer piece and lay it in the Bowdabra. Twist and fold to make loops for the Bow.
Finally take the gold sheer ribbon and place it in the Bowdabra from the top down like an accordion.
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.
To finish, use the excess bow wire to tie the bow onto the prepared wreath form. You have a gorgeous fall sunflower wreath that you made in just minutes with Bowdabra!
