Follow these steps to make a no tail pinwheel bow using bowdabra bow maker.

What we need: Bowdabra bow maker, bowdabra wire, ribbon.

1. Cut 12″ of Bowdabra Bow Wire, fold the wire in half and place it into the Mini Bowdabra.

2. Seal the ends of the wine 3/8″ satin ribbon and place the end into the Mini Bowdabra.

3. Fold the ribbon at the 1.5cm mark to create your first loop.

4. Fold the ribbon at the 1.5cm on the other side for a matching loop.

5. Fold the ribbon at the 1.5cm mark one more time on each side to create a total of 4 loops. Leave the ribbon attached to the spool.

6. Scrunch down with the Mini Bowdabra Wand.

7. While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end.

8. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra.

9. Gently pull the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow. To tie off the bow, pinch the Bowdabra Bow Wire securely against the bow. Twist the bow 4 to 6 times in a clockwise direction.

10. Fluff bow and trim away the ribbon from the spool as close to the Bowdabra Bow Wire center. Seal the end of the ribbon.
