Make Bows No More

This blog started out as a place to store my links, then a place to help others make accessories without spending a ton of money on useless information. Now it sits, since I Make Bows NO More ;)

The links are still useful. People are still coming here to look for ways to make bows or flowers. I still see ribbon flowers from this site. Yes, I silently cheer when I do! :)

Please excuse the lack of current posts, I am busy raising happy healthy beautiful children who will be adults before I know it.

Best wishes to all. Happy Crafting!

Make Bows for Babies with No Hair

Karo Syrup will hold a little bow on a bald head. Make your bow with a
1 inch template and your own ribbon. Store the Karo Syrup in a medicine syringe so you don't have to deal with the sticky mess! :)

Does your little one have a bit of hair? Wool felt cut in a flower shape with a snap clip sewn inside worked best for us. Stylish Ribbon hot glued on a snap clip or Mini Alligator clip will hold too. If you need extra grip, add silicone no slip grip or a clip grip to the underside.

Bitty Boutique Bows can be attached to an alligator clip or a snap clip when there is more hair.

Crochet Headbands, Fold Over Elastic (FOE) Headbands, Nylon Headbands or Crochet Hats will all stay on a bald babies head too. :)

The Cutting Edge Bow Maker Tool Highlight

Do you hate cutting V or Angled cuts on your bow tails?  I do! I purposely don't make pinwheels because of the tails.  It isn't the tails I dislike, it is the NOT perfect tails I dislike! ;)

The Cutting Edge by NoBow...NoGo! is a tool to perfect all your tail angles.

Beginner's Bow Making Starter Kit

Are you new to bow making? Don't know where to start? Check out this great list of resources by Polka Dot Designs
Bow Making Templates:
• No Bow No Go templates; also called TNT (Top Notch Templates). These are the templates and instructions I have and can attest to their awesomeness: NoBowNoGo.com
• Brilliant Bowmaker bow making system. I haven't used this set, but I've heard good things about it: littlepinkladybug33.etsy.com
• DIY templates: hair-hardware.com (scroll to the bottom of the page)
• Gator Bite: lookatmebaby.com
• Gator Bite Demo Video: lookatmebaby.com/video
• Sally's Beauty Jumbo Clip: makebowsandmore.blogspot.com

Useful Tools:
*Heat Sealing Ribbon Ends*
• Woodburner tool: How I Cut & Heat Seal in 1 Step,
Glass Mat to cut ribbon with woodburner tool: girlythingsbows.com
• Lighter: needlesfabricandthread.blogspot.com

*Lining Clips*
• High temperature hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Specialty Tapes double-sided tape (OMG, it's awesome!): SpecialtyTapes.net
Check out hipgirls for group buys hipgirlclips.com
• Sealah double-sided fabric tape Jodeesinc.com

Non-slip product for clippies: NoSlipClip.blogspot.com
My favorite nonslip method is Duck Hold-It carpet tape: noslipclip.blogspot.com. I get mine at Walmart for $8.97/roll.
Video demo that shows how well it works: hipgirlclips.com

Sharp Scissors or a Rotary cutter: rotaryc.jpg
Self-healing cutting mat. You can get these at Walmart, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Hancock Fabrics and Joann. You can see here that prices vary greatly: createforless.com

A variety of clips and barrette sizes; purchase online or locally at Sally's Beauty Supply.
snap clips: hipgirlclips.com
single prong alligator clip: hipgirlclips.com
double prong alligator clip: hipgirlclips.com
french barrettes: hipgirlclips.com

Starchin' and a bakin' - this method is great for making your bows AWESOME. You can squoosh them, put them in your purse or whatever trauma bows go through and they will spring back to life and not get wrinkled.
Spray your bows with starch of your choice. Sta Flo is the most popular, purchase at WalMart in the laundry department.
Bake bows at 275 degrees for 25 minutes. These variables can vary. I've seen different degrees and minutes posted, but this works for me.
Great tip I've learned is to place your bows in the freezer for a few minutes to set them or just let them cool at room temperature.
You can also spray them once again after you've baked them. I don't, but you may want to.

To sew or not to sew! This is a matter of preference. I tie my bows and I use the Gator Bite. It's worked out great for me, so far.

Sewing Bows:
Upholstery thread or plain waxed Dental Floss
Long Sharp Needles
