I was watching a youtube tutorial on making double loop bows and they took a lighter and went along the edges of the ribbon to heat seal the edges of the ribbon. I used to use the fray check until trying this. It took a little experimentation and you just run the flame across the edge of the ribbon very fast. It works like a charm.
I have tried using snaps and velcro so you can detach the bow..the bows are kind of floppy when I did them with either..sewing seems to be the most secure way to attach them. |
