Those are absolutely gorgeous bows!! Grim ripped all bows out until I used that latex band. The band really secured it and he seemed to not notice it was in!

I also build bows on scrunchies for casual outings, or just for everyday, I just use the scrunchie, which can just be pulled off and re-set if they rub or scratch it out, but I try to make sure the topknot is not uncomfortable or tight, or pulling anywhere so hopefully they will ignore it while I am not with them.

I don't have a photo at the moment of the bows on the scrunchies, but here are some pix of my kids with decorated scrunchies, with two (2) contrasting color scrunchies (red and white) together, and bows with latex bands, and the scrunchies themselves...which sell for approx. $2/pkg.
