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, place in the greenery and hanging florals. Then, add the lemon pick.

Using the yellow bubble dot ribbon, cut a length and dovetail the ends.  Lay it in the Bowdabra for the tails.

Now, using the same ribbon, make a multi-loop twist and fold bow. Scrunch in the ribbon, then bring the ribbon across and scrunch down, twist, and repeat.  Continue making loops back and forth, twisting and scrunching down into the Bowdabra.  Make sure the wrong sides are always on the inside of the bow.

Repeat the steps to make a fold and twist bow with the black burlap ribbon, beginning with a 6-inch tail. Repeat for another fold and twist bow with the bumblebee ribbon.

Finally, use the yellow Cabana stripes ribbon to make a shoelace bow. To make a little shoelace bow. Find the center of a piece of ribbon and scrunch it right side down into the Bowdabra.  Now bring one side across and scrunch down, then bring the other side across and scrunch down.

Add a little lemon pick. 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.

Shape out and arrange the bow.  Use the excess wire to tie the bow to your grapevine wreath. You have a bright and beautiful lemon wreath bow that will be sure to liven up your spring and summer décor!
