PAMELA YAGER: So now I have my flowers on both sides with some long ribbon, which I
think is really cute. At the start, it didn't even look cute--and we just got started. And
now, I'm going to start putting on some curling ribbon because that's what we want to do--is
we want to alternate the different ribbon types. So I'm going to be taking a piece of
curling ribbon and I'm going to use this purple this time, and let's make it about --just
about 16 inches. Again, it's up to you however you want to decorate your boa and just keep
things consistent from one side to the other. And, again, I'm going to be using my wire
as a threading tool. Let me tell you a little bit about the wire and the threading tool.
What I basically did was this is just a wire that they used for crafts, making artificial
flowers. Sometimes, people use it in gardening. And I take just a--cut off of about 3 inches
and fold it so that it has a bend in the top of it. And I pressed that together so it becomes
a little bit of sharper of a tool. And it's easier to get the ribbon through it. It becomes
like a threading tool. It's easy to get the ribbon through the center of the flower. And,
actually, sometimes, I don't use the point. I use this other end, which is almost like
the end of the bobby pin, one side of a bobby pin. I'm going to put it through the hole
in the middle because those are the two little tiny parts. It's just so much easier and see
how it loop the ribbon through the threader and pull it out. It makes it so much easier.
Now, for the curling ribbon and the placement of it, that's in our next step, so just stay
tuned for that.
