Easy Bowdabra Video DIY – How to make a stunning red and white wreath

Join Nick of Nick’s Seasonal Décor for a simple red and white wreath tutorial perfect for the holidays and winter! Learn how to create a beautiful bow that adds a festive touch to your seasonal decor.

Materials:

2.5″ wide Wired ribbon

Bowdabra Bow Wire

Large Bowdabra

18″ flocked wreath

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.

Next, cut a length of 2 1/2″ wide wired candy cane ribbon and lay it in the Bowdabra for the tails.

Now, scrunch in a long piece of the same ribbon to make a fold and loop bow.  Place the ribbon wrong side down and 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 side of the ribbon is on the inside of the bow. Make about 6-7 loops on each side.

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.

Use the excess wire to attach the bow to a white wreath form. Fluff and arrange the bow, and pull the tails down. You have a gorgeous red and white wreath created in just minutes to use all winter long!
