3. After creating the loops, she cuts the tail ends at an angle.
4. She takes the 2 ½” Black White Buffalo Plaid ribbon, flips it inside out, places it on the Bowdabra, and creates 2 loops on either side of the Bowdabra.
5. After creating the loops, she cuts the tail ends at an angle.
6. She takes the 1 ½” Black Red Buffalo Plaid ribbon, puts it inside, and creates 2 loops on either side of the Bowdabra and 1 button loop.
7. After creating the loops, she cuts the tail ends at an angle.
