| I make bows they are kind of like show bows in that they are stiff and double looped and I usually glitterize them or use cutesy printed bows with a little jewel or button in the middel. They are time consuming! I also prefer to use the really small aligator clips!

| Cool Amandag159, it would be great to have pics ! Bella_mia_hairy, What do you use when you make the stiff double looped ones? They are pretty expensive here, im always looking for a bow who doesnt cost much.

| That's such an easy way to make bows! I thought there was so much more to it since the petstore charges so much for them. Looks like you've given me a new way to save some money Thanks tons!!!

| Double Loop Hi everyone. I actually started making the double loop bows last weekend. I don't have a Yorkie yet, but I figured I would start making bows for when my future baby comes home. I found how to make them on this site: Alex's Yorkie Care Frequently Asked Questions. Page 3. I'm attaching pictures of some of the bows that I've made. They're bad, but they're my first attempts.

| I get all my bows from ladymom! I figured out the price for all the attachments (I like barrettes), ribbon, stiffner, jewels/buttons and honestly could not see the savings over spending a few dollars per bow. Unless you are making hundreds of them and buy wholesale, anyway.

| It is called Stiffen Stuff it is a spray bottle Yellow and white with the name in red lettering. you spray it then put the bow under a blow dryer or in the microwave for a couple of seconds and that hardens the bow and keep doing that till you get the stiffness you want! Hope it helps!
