Make sure you have all your supplies handy before you start.

Ribbon Mis en Place

Cut 12 inches of the yellow tie off ribbon and lay it horizontally in the Bowdabra.

Lay a small part of the blue ribbon across over the yellow ribbon

Begin Loop

Make a loop and put the part on the other side, sliding it down so it is in the Bowdabra.

First Loop

Make another loop toward the other side. Continue doing this until the Bowdabra is almost full

Almost full

Use the wand to push the bow down.

Now, remove the wand and bring the yellow ribbon up and tie off the bow. Don’t do it too tightly, because you still need to get the box out of the Bowdabra.

Tie off

Remove the ribbon from the Bowdabra by lifting it out and tie it securely.

Ribbon Out of Bowdabra

Take the ribbon in your hands and fluff out the ribbon, and make it symmetrical.

Now tie the yellow ribbon in the back of the ribbon tightly to secure it.

At this point you can add a trinket. I put my horse in the front of the ribbon.

I then tied the ribbon around its neck.

Then I made a bow with the remaining yellow ribbon for the finished product.

Finished Ribbon

When I want to attach it to the gift bag, I will tie some silver florist wire to it and secure it that way.
