How to use Bowdabra for multi use floral arrangements

Materials:

• 1.5 -2 yards of 21” wide Green Deco Mesh
• Assorted stems and bushes of artificial greenery, flowers and fillers
• 2.5” Lime Green Burlap Ribbon
• 1.5” Fall Plaid Ribbon
• Large Bowdabra
• Bowdabra Bow Wire

Instructions:

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 take the deco mesh and curl the ends under, find the center and scrunch it the Bowdabra from the top down. Roll the ends under and scrunch down.

Now, add the greenery. Fold a bush in half and place in the Bowdabra with greenery on each side. Keep building the florals and picks from side to side.

Scrunch everything down now start building the center. Next, place some 2 1/2″ burlap ribbon folded in half with a loop on one side and two tails on the other. Repeat with the second piece of burlap, except this time make only one tail. Add another floral spray and finish with the plaid ribbon making loops on both side. Add the sunflowers on top.

Now, 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 shape your arrangement.

Now you have beautiful florals for multi use floral arrangements.  Use zip ties to add it to a cemetery saddle.  You can use it as a no container centerpiece, attach it to a wreath or use it as a swag. The uses are endless!!!  And it is so very beautiful no one will believe you did it yourself!
