Materials:
3.5 yards — #7562 Sunflower Meadow Ribbon, 2½ inches wide, yello2.5 yards — #7809 Elite Velvet Ribbon, 1½ inches wide, gold/gold (two-sided)
1.5 yards — #7562 Sunflower Meadow Ribbon, 1½ inches wide, yellow
21-inch-wide decorative mesh
Sunflower pick
Fall berry pick
Fall eucalyptus stem/pick
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, place the fall eucalyptus leaves right in the Bowdabra. Now cut some fall print ribbon and dovetail the ends. Fold in half and place in the Bowdabra for the tails. To dovetail, fold the ribbon in half and cut at an angle away from the fold.
Next, working with two ribbons placed together, create a twist and fold bow. Twist and scrunch in the Bowdabra, then bring the ribbon across and scrunch down. Continue making loops back and forth, twisting and scrunching down into the Bowdabra. Make sure the wrong sides are always on the inside of the bow.
Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Add the fall pick and scrunch everything down again. Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot for extra security.
Shape and separate the two ribbons so they are both visible. You have a gorgeous double ribbon wreath bow created in just minutes!
