In this super easy DIY video Bowdabra creator, Sandy Sandler shows you how easy it is to make a beautiful Valentine’s Day door bow in minutes. This lovely bow will brighten up your door! It would also make an awesome gift! The Bowdabra bow maker makes bowmaking a breeze! So, let’s get started.
Materials Required:
- 100-Yard Bowdabra Bow Wire
- Large Bowdabra
- 21″ Deco Mesh (Red and Silver)
- Red-White Polka Dot Ribbon Roll
- Emilia Ribbon Roll
- Silver and Red Scrunchy Ribbon
Instructions:
First, fold a length of Bowdabra bow wire in half and tuck it underneath the Bowdabra so it stays out of the while making the bow.
Next, take two pieces of the 21″ silver deco mesh and one piece of red deco mesh and scrunch them down into the Bowdabra.
Cut some tails from the red-white polka dot ribbon and dovetail the ends. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold. Place the two pieces of ribbon into the Bowdabra.
Next, use some Bowabra scrunchy ribbon (two pieces of red and two pieces of silver)fold in half to find the center, and scrunch them down into the Bowdabra.
Now lay in some more polka dot ribbon for tails followed by two pieces of Emilia ribbon that have already been dovetailed.
Next, take a longer piece of polka dot ribbon and place it in the Bowdabra. Now, twist and fold across to make loops.
Now scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Add two more pieces of silver scrunchy ribbon. Next, lay along a piece of Emila ribbon in the Bowdabra and fold and twist to make loops as you did with the polka dot ribbon.
Add some more red scrunchy ribbon. Scrunch everything down one more time. Thread the loose wire through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Remove from the Bowdabra, turn to the back, and tie a knot and double knot. Fluff and arrange the Valentine’s Day door bow.
