So after the bow is made you put it in the stiffner??
Also how do you make the tight loops?? Mine never seem to stay small and round.... they become oval and a little stiff and they look wider then the ones i have seen.
To OP thanks for posting this i was wondering the same thing.
| Use Aileen's Stiffen Quick....it's in a spray bottle....you need to put your bows on knitting needle forms (2 different size needes, one for the smaller loop and a larger one for the larger loop) prior to spraying....then you continue spraying after each drying period until they are the desired stiffness.
Work with a ruler.....cutting to the right length. You'll have to have a second measurement on the ruler, so that once you've looped the piece of fabric together you can make sure your bow is not too wide. |
