Materials:
Mesh Ribbon
Sheer gold/silver ribbon
Decorative Leaves
Roses
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 ribbon and fold the ends under so that the fraying doesn’t show in the completed swag. Now, scrunch it in the Bowdabra, rolling the end ribbon in the same way as you did at the beginning.
Now, take the leaves and lay them in going in different directions. Follow this by placing in the rose bush, and fanning out the roses in different directions.
Next, lay in the ribbon tails. Now, using the Emilia ribbon twist and place in the Bowdabra, and fold and twist to make a bow. Repeat this step with the sheer gold and silver ribbon. Now, add your large floral.
Finally, 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!
Shape out the florals and ribbons. You have the most beautiful and elegant door swag in just minutes!
