Materials:

4” wide wired velvet ribbon

Bowdabra Bow Wire

Large Bowdabra

Intructions:

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.

Cut about 1 1/2 yard of the wired velvet ribbon, fold in half to find the center and then place it in the Bowdabra for the tails.

To make a multi-loop twist and fold bow, Scrunch in the ribbon, then, bring the ribbon across and scrunch down, twist, and repeat.  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.

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. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy!

Finally, fluff out the bow and shape it by pulling the loops apart and the tails down. You have a beautiful extra large bow for the tree top this Christmas or a perfect bow for a huge gift!
