How to:

Next, cut a second strip of ribbon, 34″ long, folding it in half and pinching the middle to insert it down into the Bowdabra on top of the first ribbon strip. 

You want the strips to look staggered.

Begin your bow by inserting the evergreens down into the Bowdabra.

And then the florals .  .  .

into the Bowdabra in a decorative arrangement. 

Once satisfied with the floral display, it’s time to make the bow!

Crease the end of the matching ribbon on the roll, and place in the Bowdabra. 

 Since the design is on one side of this ribbon, fold a 5″ loop, creasing, and twisting the center of ribbon down into the Bowdabra.     

Fold and twist ribbon to make a matching 5″ loop on the opposite side, down into the Bowdabra. Continue making two more loops on either side. Folding and creasing the center and twisting the ribbon into the Bowdabra for a total of six loops.

To finish the bow, make a button loop to cover the bow wire, then scrunch all the loops down using the Bowdabra wand and cut off excess ribbon..

Finishing your bow

Then, take the wire around to the back, tying the bow wire in two or three tight knots.

Next, tie the bow to the handle of the lantern in a double or triple knot to secure it. 

Fluff and straighten the bow loops and florals on the lantern. Then stand back and admire your beautiful Spring Floral and Bow creation on the lantern!
