Baby and Korker Ribbon Bows

Last night I spent way too long making bows for Ryan to sell on EBAY. When I started it didn't seem like it would take very long. I was just making some baby bows and some korker ribbon bows.

The baby bows went fast. I made 10 in a very short time and they were fray checked glued and ready to go.

Korker ribbon takes a while to make to begin with then when you add making the actual bow it REALLY takes a while. Let me tell you the process.

  1. You need long dowels and clothes pins to wrap the ribbon around
  2. Then you bake them in the oven
  3. When they're done baking you take them out, let them cool and then take the ribbon off the dowels
  4. After that you have to cut each long piece of ribbon into the smaller sized pieces
  5. Then you fray check them all (this takes forever!)
  6. Then using elastic string you tie the ribbons that you want together
  7. After that you glue on the clip
It may seem easy but it actually is very time consuming. Something I continue to forget whenever I start a Korker Ribbon Project!

(I actually made 11 Korker Ribbon bows but Ryan would only sell them in lots of 5 so I have a loner. :) )
