I know I'm new to the forum, but i wanted to let you guys know that I have found the PERFECT bows!! This lady makes them and she's on ebay. All of her jewels and the bands are sewn on and not glued. They are stiff so that they'll last. I think I'm addicted to buying them from her because they are so cute! And affordable. Take a look at them! Her seller ID is BowsByVal.
