Hi,
I make bows as well. I agree that I'd get your little one use to wearing a latex band would be a great start. We sell the yorkie style bows with either elastics or a small clip. I'm starting to like using the clips hear lately as you can put them on & take them off quite quickly without damaging the hair & keeping the bow in great shape. I usually keep Lulu's hair in a tiny elastic all of the time & when she needs to look all pretty I can just clip the bow on quickly & take it off quickly when she just needs to go to bed or change it to another color : )
Attached is a picture of Lulu wearing a clip on style bow (also available with elastics)
