Just an idea....it might be cheaper just to buy toys, I don't know.
www.petedge.com carries toys so cheap and you can even find them on their clearance too, really, really cheap. I'm talking, under $1!!!
I know Mojo's groomer has showed me how to make bows, but we never paid much attention....that might be a good place to ask and have it shown hands on. But you can google just about anything anymore and most of the time, you can find it for free.
Good luck!
