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, find the center of your ribbon and pinch it into a mountain fold.
Place the right side of the ribbon down into the Mini Bowdabra. Next, take one end of the ribbon bring it over, and scrunch that right side down into the Mini Bowdabra. Then, bring the other end over the first loop which forms a sort of X shape, and lay that in the Bowdabra.
Now, push the lower ribbon in first, then push the top one and you have a boutique bow. Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.
Next, lay in some korker ribbon pieces. 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!
To finish, use the excess ribbon to tie this special boutique bow onto a ponytail elastic. Shape out the bow and clip the excess wires off.
