Master the art of creating an elegant winter wreath bow with this simple DIY tutorial! Ideal for enhancing your holiday and winter wreath decorations, this guide will show you how to craft a beautiful bow using the Bowdabra tool and a combination of sheer and mesh ribbons.
Materials:
Bowdabra bow maker
Bowdabra bow wire
Sheer blue ribbon
Gold mesh ribbon
Large silver floral pick
Instructions:
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire long enough to be able to tuck under. 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 sheer blue ribbon and fold it in half to find the center, and place it in the Bowdabra. Repeat with the gold mesh ribbon. Add More Ribbon Layers: Continue alternating between the blue and gold ribbons, folding them in half each time and laying them in the Bowdabra.
Now using a wide ribbon, twist, and fold to create loops back and forth. Working with the two sheer blue and gold mesh ribbons together, place them in the Bowdabra and twist and fold making loops.
Next, working with the two-color loops together, place the right sides facing down, bring the ribbons across, and scrunch in the end with the right side down, then fold in the center to create a small bow. Give everything a good push down with the Bowdabra wand.
Finally, lay in a large silver pick. 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.
