So, I really want to start making my own hair bows for my girls, mostly since a lot of the hair bows that I get for my girls are expensive, then fall apart quickly. I am crafty, but need a jumping point. Do any of you know of a good hair bow book that can instruct me on techniques?

What can I do next?

You may get the bow making down, but the raw materials defeat the cost of just buying a bow.

look at www.bellabowz.com or http://bellabowz.blogspot.com/

you can get a one off for about 20$ at the most.

Hi K.,

Email me off board and I will give you the links to the best bow instructions! I have a business making custom bows. So have gotten every book out there lol! But I will let you know the best to get.

And I know what you mean about spending a lot I used to spend $20 bucks on a custom bow. Now instead I make that!

My husband and I are professional Clowns/Elves living in Anna. I usually wear hairbows in my wig and have decided to make my own. Walmart carries the Bowabra mini that will make hairbows, you can find it in the craft section. I have not tried it as yet(we've been pretty busy as Clowns), but I have bought the clips from Michaels. As soon as I can find some time I will try the Bowabra.

If you try it, please let me know what you think.

Please feel free to take a look at our website at www.freewebs.com/bubblesandwowza for samples of our work along with video testimonials from satified customers regarding our performance.

Hope to hear from you,

I have also done bows for ever and is very simple the key after made to keeping them nice is spray starch and a curling iron just run it threw the loops.My daughter would go swimming in hers and I would use that to keep them refreshed.I also took a clothes hanger and took a pair of panyhose wrapped the top of hose over the hanger and clipped the bows and kept them hung in the closet this helps keep in order and fresh.Or brad yarn like hair and hang

put that into your browser - free hairbow instructions.

I taught myself and made all my own bows and sold them as well. My dd doesn't want to wear bows anymore!!

I also make beaded barrettes and woven headbands.

Enjoy!

And it is not true that the raw materials defeat the cost of making your own bows... you can get the supplies cheap and IF you make them and sell them it can we worthwhile to buy ribbon in bulk (tons of websites out there and ebay too) - hairbows make great gifts! My daughter had bows to match every single outfit she owned.

I watched a few videos on Youtube.com and have been a bow making fool ever since. It's so easy! If you are crafty, I'm sure you will pick it up quickly. :)
