Who doesn't love hair bows?

So a while back I saw a how to blog on Korker Bows & it looks so easy I had to try it! The blogger said she used 1/4 inch ribbon but I decided that was smaller than that I wanted. So I went with 3/8 and I liked how it turned out :)  Not to say that I won't make some smaller ones for babies/toddlers in the future now that I know how easy they really are to make!

I gathered my supplies
Ribbon
Lighter (to seal the ends of the ribbon)
Scissors 
Wire
Wire cutters (needle nose pliers saved me a trip to the store)
and 1/4in dowel rod (cut in half to fit in my oven)
   TIME FOR SOME FUN :D

 So I uncurled some of the ribbon from the roll, laid it on the counter and this is what it did! It made me laugh.












I wrapped the rod in ribbon, maybe it was a little bit closer together than I should have... it worked, but next time I'll leave more space.







Baking time! 20 minutes at 275 degrees... perfections!










Letting them cool off & fully set to keep their shape.











After I uncurled the ribbon from the rod I cut them down (in half, in half again etc) till they were the size I wanted.

For this bow I sewed the ribbon together, tied it to the clip and then hot glued it all together. It worked pretty well.

This bow I did pink and red (you can't tell in the picture) with a white button in the middle.














And this one I did for my niece Chandler- She wanted Gold & Red (her school colors). I hope she likes it! I'll post a picture of Chandler with the bow once I mail it to her. Man I wish that girl lived closer to me :(

For this bow stacked the ribbon curls and tied them with a string (so it could be tied tight) then I folded a piece of gold ribbon in half and covered the string. I then tied it onto the clip and hot glued it in a few places so it will hopefully stay put.

All the bows got a coat of Aqua Net to help them keep their shape and with that they are ready to be worn.

 I gave the first two bows I made to my other niece Isabella & she loved them. The other day she asked her mom for "Bows names is Aunt Kimber made for me" :)

I have plenty of ribbon left so I'll be making a bunch more bows! It's a good thing I have friends having babies!!
