The best advice I can give is just grab some ribbon thread/embroidery floss and maybe some beads and go to town. You'll find a way that is easiest for you. I have found that clothes pins come in handy for holding the ribbon while I'm tinkering with it. Its really not that tough and they are fairly quick to make. You'll be proud of yourself when you make one you really like, try it you'll figure it out.
Also on the stiffener. What I've heard on that is to get the spray stiffener then find something to put in the loops of the bows, like pencils or dowels or something, then once you've put them in the loops spray it and let it sit until it dries.
Good luck
