How to make a Halloween wreath bow
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 creepy cloth and letting it hang down long, lay it in the Bowdabra for the tails. Then, using the deco mesh, place it in the Bowdabra and make some large loops going back and forth.
Then, lay in a length of the twinkling ribbon for some tails. Take the wider twinkling ribbon and twist and fold for a loop on one side and tails on the other side. Repeat this with the second piece of ribbon alternating the loop and tails.
Repeat this step with two pieces of purple twinkling ribbon. Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand and make sure the loops and tails are even.
Using the last piece of twinkling ribbon, find the center and lay it in the Bowdabra. Bring one side across, followed by the other side, creating a bow.
Finish with some scrunchy ribbon
Next, use some silver scrunchy ribbon and insert it from the top scrunching 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
Finally, adjust and arrange your loops and curl the ribbon ends. Tie the bow with the excess wires to the spider wall hanging wreath. You have the cutest spooky spider web wall hanging decorated with a wacky, sparkly Halloween wreath bow!
