How to make a Santa Hat Bow with Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a Bowdabra Santa Hat Bow.

Supplies:
Bowdabra Bow Making Tool Large
Bowdabra Bow Wire
2 1/2″ Buffalo Plaid Checkered Trees
1 1/2″ Buffalo Plaid
Santa Hat
Assorted Foliage

Instructions:

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire, 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.

Cut 2 strips of each ribbon, each approximately 12″ in length.
Place in the Bowdabra.

Create loops by passing the ribbon through the channel, twisting it on each turn so that the wrong side is on the inside of the bow.

Leaving a 5″ tail, create 3 loops on either side of the channel.

Use the Bowdabra bow wand to push down on the ribbon loops.

Pull up on the bow wire, threading the ends through the loop.
Pull tight, turn to the back, and tie a knot.

Fluff out the loops of each ribbon.
Dove tail all ends.

Using the bow wire, tie the bow to the Santa Hat. You have a gorgeous Santa Hat bow that is perfect to hang on your door or use as a package decoration.  Fun and easy, and super quick!
