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, add a tail with a 2 1/2″ wide ribbon. Pinch and twist it in the center and place it in the Bowdabra.
Now, begin making 5″ loops. Twisting back and forth as you go so that the printed side of the ribbon bow is facing up. Keep making loops for a total of three loops on each side.
Next, continue the twisting and folding to make two 4″ loops on each side.
Finally, twist and fold to make a 2″ loop in the center. (Button loop) Now, match the end of the ribbon to the tail from the beginning.
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 bow wire makes it so easy!
To finish, open and fluff out all the loops and arrange the tails for a beautiful, super easy bow that has multiple uses. Use on wreaths, gift packages, floral arrangements and so much more!
