Create Beautiful Bows

Bowdabra® Bow Maker tools: Create beautiful bows in minutes

The Bowdabra® Bow Maker is the tool thousands of crafters and wreath makers trust to build professional-looking bows without the guesswork. Whether you need a bow making tool for a wreath, a gift, or a hair bow, the Bowdabra® Bow Maker helps you wrap, twist, and tie a finished bow in just a few simple steps. Shop the Large and Mini Bow Maker tools below and find the size that fits your next project.

Why crafters choose the Bowdabra® Bow Maker

Making bows by hand can be frustrating, especially when you can’t hold the ribbon in your hands or you are not able to tie an even bow. Our Bowdabra® bow making tools solve that problem. The Bowdabra® Bow Maker does the hard part for you. It works like an extra pair of hands, holding your ribbon in place while you shape each loop, so every bow looks the same on both sides. This easy-to-use bow making tool comes with clear instructions and a step-by-step video, so first-time crafters and seasoned bow makers alike can start creating right away. It is designed to make bow making more approachable for beginners while giving experienced and professional bow makers the control they need for cleaner loops and more consistent results. Many crafters also call it a bow making machine because of how quickly it turns a spool of ribbon into a finished bow.

Whether you’re making bows for everyday crafting or creating hair accessories, wreaths, gifts, or event decor, the same Bowdabra® tools give you a simple way to create neat, repeatable results.

Bow maker sizes: Large and Mini tools for every project

Bowdabra® offers two tool sizes, so you can match the bow maker to the bow you want to make.

Large Bowdabra® Bow Maker

The Large Bow Maker is built for big, statement bows. Use it for wreaths, swags, tree toppers, pew bows, and oversized gift bows. It works well as a ribbon bow making tool for wide ribbon and thick ribbon alike, giving you full, professional-looking loops every time.

Mini Bowdabra® Bow Maker

The Mini Bow Maker is sized for smaller, detailed bows. It is a favorite hair bow maker for parents and bowmakers who sell hair accessories, and it also works as a compact ribbon bow maker for gift tags, favors, and small decor pieces.

What comes in every bow making kit

Each Bowdabra® bow making kit is built to get you making bows the same day it arrives. Every kit includes:

  • The Bowdabra® tool itself
  • 10 yards of Bowdabra® bow wire
  • A Bowdabra® wand for shaping loops
  • Easy-to-follow written instructions
  • An instructional video packed with bow projects and tips
  • Thousands of tutorial projects on bowdabra.com

Pair your tool with an extra spool from our Bowdabra® bow wire packs, so you never run out mid-project. Our bow making tools and Bowdabra®  bow wire refills are sold separately, so you can restock only what you need.

One tool, endless bows

A single bow maker can cover more projects than most crafters expect. Use yours to create:

  • Holiday wreath bows and swags
  • Gift wrap bows for birthdays and special occasions
  • Hair bows in matching sets
  • Corsages, pew bows, and wedding decor
  • Tree topper bows for the holidays

Bowdabra® tools are also useful for decorating throughout the year, from Christmas and Valentine’s Day to Fourth of July celebrations, birthdays, weddings, Thanksgiving, Easter, and baby showers. They’re equally suited to wreath making, gift wrapping, home decor, party favors, pew bows, and hair bows, making one tool useful across a wide range of occasions and projects.

Because it is such a versatile DIY bow maker, one tool can replace bows you would otherwise buy premade, at a fraction of the cost.

Whether you’re preparing a few bows for a special occasion or making them regularly for your craft business, Bowdabra® gives you a practical way to create the size, style, and finish you want.

FAQs

1. Which Bowdabra® Bow Maker size should I buy: Large or Mini, for the bows I want to make?

It depends on what you’re making most. The Large Bow Maker tool works for big wreaths, gifts, and pew bows, while the Mini Bow Maker is sized for hair bows and smaller decorative projects. If your projects span both, pairing the two sizes gives you the full range without switching tools mid-project.

2. What’s the difference between a “bow maker tool” and a “bow making machine”? Are they the same product?

Yes, they’re the same category. “Bow maker tool” and bow making machine are just two common ways shoppers search for the same product: a tool that shapes ribbon into even loops instead of tying by hand. Bowdabra®’s tools fall under the broader group of bow making tools, so whichever term brought you here, you’re looking at the right kind of product.

3. Does the Bowdabra® Bow Maker tool work with any type of ribbon, or do I need a specific type of ribbon to use it?

As a ribbon bow maker, it works with most wired and unwired ribbons, including satin, grosgrain, sheer styles, florals, deco mesh and even fabric. There’s no need for a specialty ribbon; standard craft ribbon spools feed through the tool, which makes it a flexible ribbon bow making tool for nearly any project.

4. Is the Bowdabra® Bow Maker a good DIY option, or should I just buy pre-made bows instead?

If you want bows that match your project exactly in size, ribbon, and color, a DIY bow maker gives you more control than buying pre-made bows. It’s also more cost-effective for multiple gifts, a wreath, or a full matching set from a hair bow maker style tool, since one tool and a spool of ribbon go further than buying bows one at a time.

5. Is the Bowdabra® Bow Maker tool durable enough for frequent or professional use?

Yes. It’s built to hold up to repeated use, whether you’re making a handful of bows a season or relying on it as one of your regular bow making tools for craft fairs, events, or client orders. Many crafters and small business owners use the same bow maker for years without needing a replacement.

6. Can I buy the Bowdabra® Bow Maker tool bundled with a kit for a better price than buying separately?

Yes. The Bowdabra® bow making kit bundles the tool with bow wire and instructions at a better combined price than buying each piece on its own, so if you know you’ll need wire anyway, the kit is the more cost-effective choice.
