Materials:
How to:
First, begin by folding an 18″ piece of Bowdabra bow wire in half and lay it in the Bowdabra, You’ll have a loop at one end and two loose wires at the opposite end. Tuck ends under. Then cut a 24″ inch strip of 1.5″ wired ribbon and fold in half for the tails.
Next, dovetail the ribbon ends by folding the end ribbon of each one together and cutting at the fold on an angle down to the opposite ribbon edge.

Then pinch the middle of the ribbon and insert it down into the Bowdabra.

Now, crease the end of the matching ribbon on the roll, and place it in the Bowdabra. Fold a 4″ loop, pinching the center of the ribbon down into the Bowdabra.  Fold and pinch the ribbon to make a matching 4″ loop on the opposite side, down into the Bowdabra.

Make two loops a half inch shorter than the first loop stacked on top of each loop on either side. Folding and creasing the center into the Bowdabra.

Continue making the bow

Continue making two more loops on either side a half inch shorter than the previous loops stacked on top of each other, down into the Bowdabra for a total of eight loops. The loops should be stacked at 4″ – 3.5″ – 3″ – 2″ long on both sides.

To finish the bow, make a button loop to cover the bow wire, then scrunch all the loops down using the Bowdabra wand and cut off excess ribbon. While the bow is still in the Bowdabra, thread the loose ends of the bow wire through the loop and pull tight while gently pulling the bow. 

Take the bow wire around to the back, tying the wire in two or three tight knots.

Attach to the vase using the bow wire tied around the back. How adorable is this look!
