Your bows are very pretty!!!

If you don't send them first class, they might never arrive (or at least take 10-14 days)!!!!

The smaller first class envelopes start at $1.51 for shipping (1st class package - which you would need for thickness). For packaging, I would recommend bubble envelopes or wrapping the bows with barrettes in bubble wrap. It really won't cost more to ship, but should make them secure for shipping.

Please make sure you account for all your costs. You use a lot of ribbon in those bows. Maybe they should be $3.50 or $4 each?

TammyJM · 08-13-2008, 09:55 AM

I would order a few of your bows if you decide to make them with the tiny alligator clips instead of the band or barrette.

I haven't read the other post yet.......but dang they are nice. Can you make boy bows also. I haven't got a boy yet, but I would like to see boy stuff also.

yeah, I did one or two but definately it can be done with the right ribbon and not so frilly willy. I went looking for camo ribbon but need to order it which I thought would be cute. I also found sports themes and nautical which would be cute.

That is awesome and the camo is perfect.......we have already found a YT member that makes camo boy clothes plus she has the steelers shirts..but no Redskins

. Now I need a baby.

Your ribbons are beautiful. Just don't short change yourself on what you charge. Your labor isn't free, ya know? They are really gorgeous.

Izzy Princess · 08-13-2008, 12:04 PM

Well Izzy told me to tell you that she is a bow diva and has a lot of bows from a lot of different YT vendors...and she told me that she would love to wear your bows if you offered them on a barrette..especially that last one in the first set of pics!!

They would sell because they are different!

I think $3.00 is fine with the rubberband but if you offer barrette then you should think of $3.50 to $3.75.

Also like the other posters said don't shortchange yourself.

Sky Fox · 08-13-2008, 12:15 PM

I am one with brutal child-like honesty and I can honestly say - I would absolutely buy your bows.

There is a market out there - hard to find cute stuff/personalized stuff. I think you would make BANK!

List a few on craiglist.com (free) and ebay - watch them go!

jackson25 · 08-13-2008, 01:30 PM

They are great and I would buy them...Keep up the good work

PANAMA69 · 08-13-2008, 02:51 PM

They are way cute!!

AMMARI · 08-13-2008, 03:14 PM

they are very nice. Very nicly done. I thnk you could make money off of them. You should think about it.

BamaFan121s · 08-13-2008, 04:25 PM

Oh my gosh...I think they are VERY cute! I admire your skill...I tried to make bows once.

I ended up with a big fat mess and decided it would be better to just buy them from more talented people like you!

sweetheartsok · 08-13-2008, 05:30 PM

Your bows are beautiful....may I suggest you sell them for $4.00 or 3 for $10.00. I'm sure they would still sell like crazy. IMO $3.00 is not enough...I know the embellishments themselves can be very expensive. Good luck!!!!
