Materials:
Crystal flower pick
Instructions
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Make sure you cut a longer piece of wire so you will be able to use it to tie to the pews. 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 a length of sparkle tulle followed by a length of satin ribbon for tails. Repeat this step for another set of two tails.
Now using a long length of sparkle tulle, place it in the Bowdabra, twist and bring it across to make a loop. Repeat to twist and fold to make fairly large loops.
Next, lay in a long piece of satin ribbon, fold and twist as you did before to make loops making sure the right side is always facing up and the wrong side is on the inside of the bow.
To finish, scrunch down some sparkle tulle in the center from the top like an accordion. Add the crystal flower pick.
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!
Fluff out and arrange the bow. Make several of these absolutely spectacular pew bows!
