Nick from Nick’s Seasonal Décor shows us how to create this beautiful butterfly funky bow using the Bowdabra®. This versatile bow can be used for gifts, wreaths, doors, seasonal décor, and so much more.

Materials Required:

• Bowdabra® Bow Wire
• Large Bowdabra®
• 3 yards of 2½” flower and butterfly-printed ribbon

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.

Make the funky style bow:

To create a funky bow style bow. Fold lengths of ribbon in half with a loop on one side and two tails on the other, like an awareness ribbon. Then, place them in the Bowdabra alternating the sides of loops and tails. Make at least three loops or as many as six loops if you want a fuller bow.

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.

Dovetail all the tails. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold.

Adjust and arrange the bow tails and loops to make this beautiful, butterfly, funky bow. To make this bow extra special, you might decide to add some daisies and butterfly picks as well!
