Materials:
Mesh ribbon
Floral greenery
Florals, forsythia, hydrangea
Instructions:
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire long enough to fold in half and fit into the Bowdabra, with extra length to tie around the wreath. Lay the wire into the Bowdabra, tucking the ends underneath.
Next, take your mesh and fold the ends under so that the frayed ends are covered, and scrunch it into the Bowdabra from the top pushing down like an accordion.
Now, take the floral greenery and lay it in the Bowdabra with it hanging down.
Next, lay in the forsythia flowers, followed by the hydrangea floral. Now, add the eucalyptus greenery.
Add the tails:
Fold the pre-dovetailed ribbon for the tails in half to find the center and place it in the Bowdabra.
Next, using a longer piece of spring-striped ribbon, lay it in the Bowdbra. Twist and fold to make loops. Repeat this step with the Butterfly ribbon. Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.
To finish, thread the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Remove from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot and double knot.
Shape and fluff the bow loops and arrange the florals. Use the excess wire to tie the bow to the willow wreath form. You have a stunning and magical wreath to display all spring and summer!
