Here is a quick fix:

Use dental rubber bands (from braces) - and go to Total Crafts, Michaels, or any craft store. In the ribbon section there will be small bags of solid bows. They are teeny tiny, and perfect size for a yorkie baby! They are also really really cheap, maybe 10 for $2. I then took a small piece of thread and sewed the rubberband onto the back of the bow. It takes me about 30 seconds to sew and we are ready to go! They are beautiful in the Yorkie hair, I even have ones that have little pearls in the center.

For fancy bows:

I like Val's Bows on ebay!!! They are fabulous! I type in 'Dog Bow' on ebay, and you will see the choices. I like to buy the tiniest size, which you will see. I think there is 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8 size. I usually buy the tiny ones. If you buy them in a group they are only like $1 each. You can buy them individually or in bulk, bulk is of course cheaper though.

I hope this helps! But the Craft Store bows really are super cute!
