How To Assemble The EZ Bow Maker

Having trouble assembling your EZ Bow Maker? Watch the short video below, or follow the written steps to get it set up in minutes.

If you’ve followed along with us for any time, you know how often I reach for the EZ Bow Maker. It’s one of my go-to tools for making bows like a Terri Bow or other decorative bows.

We’ve been hearing from customers that the pegs keep falling out on newer units, and that the original instructions weren’t in English. So we ordered a fresh unit from the latest batch and put it together ourselves to see what was going on. (Good news: the included booklet is fully in English.)

Video Tutorial: EZ Bow Maker Assembly

The video below will show you how we assembled this bow maker. In the box, there’s a pamphlet that has instructions in other languages, but the actual booklet is 100% in English.

How To Assemble The EZ Bow Maker

Just in case you prefer to follow written instructions, here’s how to put your EZ Bow Maker together.

Tip: You can also print out the handy instructions card at the bottom of this post!

What’s in the box: 1 base, 3 tall pegs, 1 short peg

Step 1

Go ahead and grab a hammer before you start because you’ll need it to assemble your bow maker.

Remove the contents from your box. You should find a base and 4 pegs (3 tall ones and 1 short one).

Step 2

Once you have everything laid out, put the base down in front of you. Then, take the short peg and your hammer and tap the short peg into the front small hole until it’s all the way in.

Step 3

Next, use the hammer to tap the two taller pegs into the holes above the short peg until they are each fully inserted into the holes.

Step 4

For the spool holder, you’ll take the last tall peg and use the hammer to tap the peg in to the hole on the left end of the base.

Note: Now remember, the holes are smaller than the pegs. The maker is designed to create a tight fit to keep the bows you make in place. Once the EZ Bow Maker is completely assembled, the pegs are not to be removed.

Now, Use Your EZ Bow Maker for Your Crafts!

I hope this tutorial was helpful for you! Once you get your new EZ Bow Maker put together, you can use it to create all different types of bows to decorate your wreaths or home. It’s one of my favorite wreath-making tools because it just makes creating bows SO easy.
