Hi everyone! I’m Joette from the Bowdabra Design Team, and today I’ll show you how to create a beautiful faux floral arrangement with a stunning bow using Bowdabra, perfect for your home interior—all in just a few minutes. Let’s get started!

Materials:

3 – small Palm leaf bushes or 1 large bush

2 – Filler flower bushes

5 – Birds of Paradise stems

3 – Calla Lily stems

Bouquet of Cymbidium Orchids

2 – stems of Phalaenopsis Orchid stems

Matching vase

Pool noodle pieces

3.5 yards – 7565.40/10-607
# 7565 Tropical Paradise Ribbon
1-1/2” wide Fem Freen

Bowdabra

Bowdabra Bow Wire

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.

Next, place some palm leaf stems in the Bowdabra. Then, add some filler flowers. (All on one side of the Bowdabra)

Now, arrange some birds of paradise stems, varying the height of the stems. Add some calla lilies clustering one one spot. Add bouquets of orchids on the sides.

Thread the loose ends of the bow wire through the loop and pull tightly.  Remove and separate the ends, and tie it in a knot and a double knot. Fluff the florals.

Tie a ribbon around a vase and place the arrangement in the vase, securing with some cut pieces of pool noodles.

Make the Bow:

Cut some bow wire and fold it in half, and place it in the Bowdabra.

Make a multi-loop bow, 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.

Thread the loose wire ends through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Remove, separate the ends, and turn to the back and tie a knot and a double knot. Fluff and arrange the bow. Use the ribbon you tied around the vase to attach the bow to your arrangement.

Now, you can further arrange the florals in the vase. You have a flower shop quality faux floral arrangement created in just a few minutes!
