| Bow Making Instructions Does anyone have any good bowmaking instructions that they would be willing to share? I really want to try to make my own bows but I know absolutely nothing about it. If anyone would be so kind as to share their secrets by either email, pm, post or snail mail, please contact me. Thank you. |

| Thank you, Debbie. That is great. I had tried search using bow and it said that was too common a term. It is awfully nice of you to share your "secrets" with us. |

| Debbie , umm You know you also offered to go further & do it with double bows & one sided ribbon, hint, hint, quoting "your first bows will not be perfect unless you have paid attention!!! If you want more I can keep going on the double bows with lace in the middle and one sided ribbon. It is all done the same but you have to hold a bit more ribbon, just a bit harder." Happy Bow making!! |

| templates 008.jpgOkay but this is going to take a lot of my time so be patient. First I have templates made for the different bows, you already know about the double sided bows that are 8 in Then for the single sided ribbon you will need two different pieces of ribbon one for the top of bow and one for the bottom. So here are the measurements for the templates. If you are adding trim or lace cut two pieces of the top template. |

| So you can see in this picture I have cut two of the top and one for the bottom. I am using contrasting colors so you can see it better. This is not a color for yorkies unless they are pets. cutting single sided ribbon 002.jpg |

| lace on top and fold 003.jpg Now lay the lace on top of the top piece and fold the ends over in the back and make sure they over lap....to a measured 1 and a half inches. |

| Now place the top on top of the back of the bow and finish with the directions on the single sided ribbon. Making sure you keep the ribbon from slipping and that you sew it in the perfect middle. place top onto of bottom.jpg |
