♥My Lil' Monkey Girl♥ Donating Member | Need Bow Help Hi okay so i have been trying to make my own bows and cant seem to get my loops right i use the stiffener and everything but how are you getting them to look round and really hard! Also the stiffener that i found if the bow by chance gets wet it looses its stiffness. Is there something im not using or am doing wrong. is there someone that can post a video or something showing how to get the loops round. I am trying to make double loop bows! Thanks in advance all help is appreciated!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | To re-stiffen bows that have lost some of their stiffness, I've used watered down fabric glue and that works fairly well. It dries clear and the bows maintain their shape. I use small dowel rods, or even large drink straws to hold the loop shape while they are drying. I have to be careful though and move the bows ever so often so they don't stick to the dowel rod or straw. I'm sure there are much better methods, but then I don't make bows, only touch up ones I buy.

| use dowel rods for shaping and Aileen's quick stiff fabric stiffener spray. It takes spraying MANY times to get the bows stiff.
