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, take some sugar skull fabric and trim the ends with pinking shears to prevent fraying.  Then, place one color fabric in the Bowdabra. Now, place the other color fabric facing the opposite way.

Now, lay in the Halloween-themed picks, black ferns, and roses. Continue adding the Halloween florals and picks. Add a pumpkin pick.

Next, take the silver scrunchy ribbon and place it in the Bowdabra from the top down the middle like an accordion to make a scrunchy 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!

Fluff and arrange the sugar skull swag, and you will be ready with some unique Halloween decor!
