Sandy Sandler, the creator of the Bowdabra Is here to show you how to make a super simple yet stunning multi-ribbon basic wreath bow in minutes.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crafter, this easy-to-follow tutorial will guide you through every step to make a beautiful bow perfect for wreaths, gift wraps, or home decor.

Materials:

Bowdabra® Bow Maker

Bowdabra® Bow Wire

Moroccan Ribbon

Bubble Dot Ribbon

Cabana Stripe Ribbon

Scissors

Wire Cutters (optional)

Bowdabra ribbons

Instructions:

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, add the tails.  Lay a length of bubble dot ribbon directly into the Bowdabra, followed by the Moroccan ribbon.

Now using the Bubble dot ribbon, make a multi-loop bow. Scrunch the ribbon into the Bowdabra, bring the ribbon across, and scrunch down.  Continue making loops back and forth twisting and scrunching down into the Bowdabra.  Make sure the right sides are always facing upwards. Make four loops on each side.

Repeat the same process with the Moroccan ribbon making the loops slightly smaller. Make another fold and twist the bow with the length of the cabana ribbon. Make sure the loops are gradually slightly smaller as you make these fold and twist bows. Finish with a small button loop.

Now, scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.  You might even shape your bow slightly while it is still in the Bowdabra making the final shaping even easier.

To finish, insert the loose bow 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.

Shape and arrange the bow and you have a stunning basic wreath bow!
