How to make a fun classic paw print wreath bow

Join Nick of Nick’s Seasonal Décor for a Traditional Paw Print Wreath Bow tutorial, perfect for a wreath or any occasion! Nick will guide you through creating a charming bow that adds a personal touch to your decor.

​Materials Required:
​
• 100-yard Bowdabra bow wire
• Large Bowdabra
• 1.5” or 2.5” wide Paw print 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.

Lay in the Bowdabra a long strip of paw print ribbon for the tails.

Next, make a traditional twist and fold, multi-loop bow.

Scrunch down some of the paw print ribbon. Bring the ribbon across, twist, 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.

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.

To finish, use the excess wires to attach the paw print wreath bow to a grapevine wreath and sit back and enjoy the compliments.
