Bowdabra ribbons

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, make a circle bow using the glitter mesh ribbon. Place the right side of the ribbon down into the Bowdabra, bring the other side across, and place the right side of the ribbon down. Then, find the center and scrunch that down.

Repeat this step a second time with another length of ribbon. Now take the glitter ribbon, find the center, and place it in the Bowdabra.  Repeat for another length of glitter ribbon and place it in an “X” shape.

Scrunch two pieces of the orange ribbon in the same way as you did with the glitter ribbon.

Next, make another circle bow with the paint splatter ribbon. Repeat a second time with some more of the paint splatter ribbon. Repeat one more time with some more ribbon.  You will have three stacked circle bows.

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 the bow, and you will have a fun fall wreath bow or a multi-use bow in just minutes!
