Sandy Sandler, the creator of the Bowdabra shows you how quick and easy it is to make as stunning orchid wreath in just minutes. Follow along with Sandy as she takes you through the simple steps using the amazing multi-use tool, the Bowdabra!
Materials:
Grapevine wreath
Floral leaves
Orchid bush
Mixed floral bushes
Eucalyptus leaves
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, lay in some leafy florals. Then lay in an orchid floral bush.
Now, lay in the burlap ribbon tails. Follow this by adding some florals of choice in the opposite direction from the orchids
Next, make a fold-and-twist bow with chiffon ribbon. Place the end in the Bowdabra, bring it across to form a loop, and twist and fold across. Continue making fold and twist loops.
Now, use the cream burlap ribbon and fold and twist to make a bow as you did before.
Finally, lay in some Eucalyptus leaves placing them in the Bowdabra in opposite directions.
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. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy!
Now, shape and arrange the loops of the bows and the florals.
To finish: Use the excess bow wire to tie the swag to the wreath. You may alternately use the swag by itself as a door bow or centerpiece. You have the most elegant orchid wreath!
