First, using the wired green burlap ribbon, wrap it all around the wire wreath form. Set the wrapped wreath form aside.
Next, cut a long 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.
Now, lay in the ficus foliage directly in the Bowdabra, followed by the calla lilies shaping them as you place them.
Next, add the carrot toss, orange burlap, and black and white buffalo plaid ribbon tails scrunching in from the center.
Using the long piece of the Carrot toss ribbon twist and scrunch in the Bowdabra, bring it across to make a loop, twist and fold back and scrunch making sure the right side is facing up. Continue twisting and folding to make loops.
Repeat this step with the black and white Buffalo plaid ribbon making sure the wrong side of the ribbon is on the inside of the bow.
Finally, repeat the final fold and twist style bow with the orange burlap ribbon.
Use the lime green burlap ribbon to make a scrunchy bow in the center by scrunching in from the top down like an accordion.
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.
Bend and arrange the foliage and florals. Shape out and open up all the loops of the bows. Roll the tails for a different finish. Tie the floral bow onto the wreath. And you have the most cheerful Easter wreath.
