Join Sandy Sandler, the creator of the Bowdabra® Bow Maker, as she demonstrates how to craft a beautiful seasonal swag that also serves as a lovely centerpiece or stunning wreath attachment. Using ribbon and floral picks, this versatile design will transition beautifully through Christmas and into the winter season.

Materials:

2 – Glitter Fern picks
2 – Matching 2.5” wide wired ribbon
Large Bowdabra
Bowdabra Bow Wire

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, lay in the glitter fern picks. Then, place a pre-dovetailed length of the snowflake ribbon in the Bowdabra for the tails.  Repeat this step with a length of the sheer snowflake ribbon.

Make a multi-loop bow. First, place the snowflake ribbon right side down in the Bowdabra and bring the ribbon across to make a loop and scrunch down.  Continue making loops back and forth, twisting and scrunching down into the Bowdabra.  Make sure the right sides are always facing upwards.

Repeat, making another bow with the sheer snowflake ribbon. Finally, add the berries in the center of the swag.

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.
