| Sorry you haven't gotten any replies. Might try your local craft store and see if they have some fabric stiffener and tell them what you want to do. They should have the clips too. I'd just look at the way its made and try to copy it. Guess I've gotten lazy -- I tend to buy them anymore instead of make them. It kind of time consuming. Plus, unless you can purchase just a certain length like at a fabric store, it seems more expensive to buy the whole spool that I probably won't use again for one bow. Good luck! And welcome to YorkieTalk. I hope you're still around even with no one answering your question. Probably not many saw the post in this section.

| Welcome to YorkieTalk. I agree, a fabric stiffener is what most bow makers use. Michael's craft store carries one of the preferred products, but I can't think of the brand name.

| The bows like this are very small and dont need a stiffener. Inbetween each of the loops the ribbon is wrapped to the clip with thread (clear or white works). In the middle the thread goes through the beads. Im guessing that the clip is 3/4" to 1" long and can be found at Hobby Lobby or Michael's craft stores. Hope this helps. |
