| Where do you get the centers for bows? I have been making my own bows for awhile but I have boring old centers for them like pearls or clear beads but I see so many adorable decorative ones like pumpkins or other holiday themes. Where do you all get them from? I've been to my local craft stores and everything is I find is much too big so I need help! |

| I was recently at a craft store purchasing gift wrapping material and came across a whole row of the most darling buttons, many of which are in the center of Ranger's bows from Myladymom. They were toooo cute and made me wish I knew who to make my own bows!!! I think it was either Michael's or Craft Warehouse.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Michaels have a bunch of cute things that can be used as centers. Look with the bead department; they have packs of "sports" themes, with footballs, soccer balls, etc. Also, they have dog related packages, like small bones and fire hydrants, most have a loop that you can sew on, some, I guess you could hot glue. Some of their beads would make nice centers as well. Don't forget those 40 percent off coupons. Joanne's carry some of these same packages.

| Joann's/Michaels and AC Moore trade off their coupons. So you can use them all at each store.

| I actually have my own boutique making bows, tutu's, tutu dresses, overalls etc. I am constantly buying centers for bows. There are a ton at hobby lobby and micheals, but I prefer hobby lobby. Although, walmart has a great selection! If you go to the area where they have ribbon by the yard and fabric, there are tons of buttons and a nice variety as well. You can also find them in the scrapbooking section in the craft department as well. It is very easy to take some snips and take the loop off the back of the button as well.
