How to make a simple patriotic wreath bow with Bowdabra

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to share how to create a simple Patriotic Bow using the Bowdabra.

 

Supplies:

Bowdabra Bow Making Tool Large
Bowdabra Bow Wire
Patriotic Ribbon
1 1/2″ Rose Red Burlap Ribbon
2 1/2″ Red Swirl Ribbon
Wreath
Metal Word

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 4 strips of Rose Red Burlap Ribbon, each approximately 12″ in length, then place each strip in the Bowdabra.

Taking the Red Swirl Ribbon, start creating a bow.

Create a 5-looped bow and use the bow wand to push the ribbons in the Bowdabra.

Next, place the patriotic ribbon in the channel to create a 2nd set of loops.

Create a 3-looped ribbon with the Patriotic Ribbon.
Use the bow wand to push the ribbons into the channel.

Pull up on the bow wire.

Turn the layers over and tie off.

Fluff out the loops.

Tie the bow to the wreath and dove tail the edges of each ribbon.

Add a metal word.

You have a super simple patriotic wreath bow to add to your Holiday decor!

Thanks for stopping by.
