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 some greenery in the Bowdabra. Then, add the ribbon tail.

Now, begin with the longer piece of wide, sheer ribbon. Fold and twist to make loops back and forth.

Next, lay in the poinsettia flower 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. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy!

Shape the bow by opening the loops and arrange the flowers, tails, and greenery.

To finish, add some holiday décor inside the lantern. Then use the excess bow wire to tie the bow onto the top of the lantern.

You have the quickest lantern swag completed in just a few minutes!
