Materials:

Bowdabra bow maker

Bowdabra bow wire

Deco mesh

Floral picks

Rose floral bush

Sheer red swirl ribbon

Heart ribbon

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 mesh fold the end under to hide any fraying, and scrunch down into the Bowdabra.

Then, take two floral picks and lay them in the Bowdabra going opposite ways facing downward. Next, lay in the rose floral bush.

Now, add the tails.  Place in the sheer red ribbon with tails going down.  Then, cut two pieces of the heart ribbon dovetail the ends, and place each one in the Bowdabra separately so that the heart is facing in the same direction.

Next, take a long piece of the red sheer ribbon and lay it in the Bowdabra, twist and fold to create a bow. Repeat this step with the heart ribbon. Finish with the small button loop in the center.

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, fluff out all the ribbon and arrange your beautiful Valentine’s Day decor
