Multi ribbon tree-top bow (Starts at 20:00)

Materials required:

  • Bowdabra red bow stem
  • Large Bowdabra
  • Green-red glittery heavy ribbon roll
  • Multicolored ribbon roll
  • Red-green chequered ribbon roll
  • Red glittery ribbon roll
  • Green ribbon roll with shimmery red piping
  • Festive decorative pick

1. First, Kelly folds the red bow stem and tucks it underneath the Bowdabra.

2. Next, she places an 18” tail right into the Bowdabra and creates big 4 loops (8’’) on each side of the Bowdabra with the green-red glittery heavy ribbon roll.

3. Then, she adds a shorter tail (less than an inch) with the multicolored ribbon roll and she creates 3 loops (7’’) on each side of the Bowdabra.

4. Keeping one inch shorter tail each time, Kelly repeats the process with the Red-green chequered ribbon roll and creates 3 loops on each side of the Bowdabra.

5. Now, she picks another red glittery ribbon roll and creates 2 loops on each side of the Bowdabra.

6. Next, she opts for a green ribbon roll with shimmery red piping and adds 2 loops on either side of the Bowdabra with a cute button loop in the center.

7. To secure the bow she brings the red bow stem from one side to another and puts in a knot.

Finishing your tree-top bow

8. Kelly adds decorative picks in the back of the bow and finishes off by fluffing the loops on the tree-top bow. To finish she cuts the dovetail pattern on the tail ends.
