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.

Now, with a long piece of ribbon, fold it in half to find the center. Place the right side of the ribbon down, and scrunch the ribbon down into the Bowdabra.  Now bring one side across, making a loop, and scrunch down. Bring the other side across and scrunch down. Check to make sure the loops are about the same size.

Repeat this step with another length of ribbon, making a second shoelace bow. Do this a third time with another length of ribbon of a corresponding color.

Using this color, make another shoelace bow for a total of four shoelace bows.

Finish with a circular bow. To make a circle bow, place the right side of the ribbon down into the Bowdabra, bring the other side across, and lay the right side of the ribbon down. Then, find the center and scrunch that down.

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.

Fluff and arrange for a beautiful rustic bow with a myriad of uses!
