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, cut the tails at about 28″ long. Then add them to the Bowdabra starting at the honey bee print first, then the solid yellow, and finally the patterned one.

Now, using the honey bee print make a twist and fold bow, contine to repeat this step with the yellow, and patterned ribbon. Make about 3 loops on each color ribbon.

Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Thread the loose bow wire through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Remove and separate the ends, turn to the back and tie a knot.

Adust and arrange the bow and curl the tails. You have a gorgeous honey bee bow that will look terrific on a wreath, gift and so much more!
