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, cut a length of the red velvet ribbon and place it in the Bowdabra for the tails. Then place some more velvet ribbon in the Bowdabera right side facing down, bring it across and make a loop, twist so that the right side is facing up and make a matching loop on the other side.
Continue, twisting and making loops on both sides, usually until you have 7 or 8 loops on each side.
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.
Finally, pull all the loops apart and fluff out the bow, and pull the tails down.
