Anyone use these bows? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Do any of you use these Korker type bows for your 'kids'? They are so cute. I have made so many in so many different colors. They can be as big or as small as you need them. I think they are so cute.
Hope I figured out how to attach a picture...we'll see!! LOL

I made Reagan a pair of them a few weeks ago. Mine aren't as cute as the one you posted. I just used the colors I had but that bright pink is really cute. Anyway I made two and used them for pigtails. They were actually fairly simple to make, I was surprised. Here's some pics...

How cute!!!!!!! They are very easy to make.
Finding the right clip for the right dog is the hardest part.

Those are soooooo cute how do you make them.

Thank you Carol

They are very cute!

Are they made with rubber bands or with barrettes?

Hickey007 · 08-05-2005, 08:22 AM

I used rubberbands this time. I found a place on the internet that sold the inch barrettes (about 150 for 12 dollars) but I hadn't gotten them yet and I really wanted to go ahead and try to make the bow. I like barrettes usually but I do have to say I kind of like having the rubberbands for the pigtails. Its really easy you just take ribbon and wrap in around a dowel or knitting needle or something(I think it needs to be wooden though) and stick it in the oven for a bit and when it comes out its all curly. Wait I could probably send you to a website that could explain it better. This is the one I used hope it helps... http://www.korkersandmore.com And if anyone makes them lets see the pics on your pups.

You're welcome. They really are pretty easy you should definately try it. Its a little tricky working with all the ribbons but not too bad just be patient.

Marie · 08-06-2005, 04:55 PM

The bow is very pretty. Great job.

Reagan looks so cute with the bows.

www.lesbonribbon.com I've only ordered from her once but I didn't have any problems with it at all. She had to have mailed my order the next day or two b/c I got it in just a few days. I emailed her and thanked her for the quick order and she seemed real nice. I was actually going to pm your gal and tell her about it when I found it (although I didn't know if it was a good deal or not) but I guess I must have forgotten sorry. She also sells the alligator clips too.

Also another site you might like is www.jcarolinecreative.com I've bought ribbon and D rings from them and they seemed like they had pretty good service as well. I don't know if you buy ribbon online or if it even has good prices but just thought I throw that out there just in case. They have some pretty cute ribbon.

Anyway hope this helps...
