I did not mean to steal your thread in any way I was just trying to help, I do not want you to give up as I think your bow is very nice.

your first bows will not be perfect unless you have paid attention!!! If you want more I can keep going on the double bows with lace in the middle and one sided ribbon. It is all done the same but you have to hold a bit more ribbon, just a bit harder.

Happy Bow making!!

Wow you are good at this i want to go buy some ribbon now and go home and try it. Is there a specific type of ribbon i should be buying?

dray · 11-14-2006, 06:37 AM

Good question, sorry I forgot to put this in for you....

For this bow and the directions I gave you , you will need doubled sided satin ribbon either 5/8 or 7/8 wide depending on how wide you want your bow. I like the 7/8 most of the time. You can get it at most any store that sells ribbon even Wal-Mart.

Just seen this,thanks Debbie.You should sell these instuctions on ebay girl!!! I see people sell instuctions, recipes and things like that all the time.

Shadow · 11-14-2006, 09:05 AM

what kind of thread are you using? I noticed on some bows it looks waxed.

Every one will come out perfect.

I also have pieces of card board cut to make sure I have the right length of ribbon for the bow. If this is all to confusing I may be able to take some pictures for you.

How do you attach the latex bands? Could you describe it or show a picture?

Thanks,
Sue

Also, I think your bows are beautiful! Where did you buy the rhinestones?

The waxed look is caused by the stiffner you use.

If you do a google search there are plenty of places to buy the chained rhinestones that are already mounted. Then you just cut off how many that better suits your bow.
