Supplies:

Bunny Wreath Form

1.5 yds of 4″ wide burlap

3″ wide lace, 1.5 yards

1.5 yds of 2.5″ wide wired or non-wired ribbon of choice

3 – Open rose picks

Small pieces of assorted scrap foliage of choice

Hot Glue

Bowdabra Bow Wire or Zip tie and Chenille stem

Large Bowdabra

Instructions:

First, glue some lace onto the burlap ribbon.

Next, 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.

Now, place the prepared burlap ribbon in the Bowdabra and bring it across to make a loop; make a matching loop on the other side.

Next, using another color ribbon, make a twist and fold bow.  Place the ribbon in the Bowdabra, twist and bring it across to make a loop, and make a matching loop on the other side.  Make sure your loops are a little smaller than the previous loops.

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. (You can alternatively use a chenille stem or zip ties.)

Fluff and arrange the bow and dovetail the ends. Now, add florals and foliage all around and in the bow with some hot glue.

If you desire, you can make two shoelace bows to attach to the ears.  You can make a beautiful bunny wreath in just minutes with Bowdabra!
