Bow Tying - Perfect Solution!

Do You Struggle Tying Bows?

One of my most asked questions and struggles for card makers is bow tying.
 
Do you find yourself bow challenged?
 
Do you find it difficult to create the "perfect bow"?
 
Well.....in my opinion, there is no "perfect bow", but just handmade bows....we are not mass producing machines....we are paper crafters and each bow you hand tie is perfect to me!
 
But.....those of us still struggle......and what is the way to perfect your bow tying you  may ask?
 
PRACTICE   PRACTICE    PRACTICE!
 
Yes....unfortunately that's the true answer.....but how....you may still be asking?

There are a lot of videos and contraptions for tying bows when I started to research....from using bottles, to forks, punches, to all sorts of bow makers and even those that do the "faux bow".....which is basically a knot.....going back to your earlier days in scouting!  :-)

I have made a little cardboard template to help....it is just using the cardboard left over from my Paper Pumpkin kits....you know that piece of hard cardboard that you usually discard?
 
 
Yes....you are saving the environment and lots of ribbon using this little cardboard piece!
 
 
Interested?  I'd love to send you one....if you would like.....anyone placing an order with me through my online store will receive one FREE....while supplies last.   Just email me and let me know after placing your order you wish to receive the free bow maker and I'll get one off to you right away!
 
 
I'll be posting a video soon through my You Tube Channel on instructions using my homemade bow creator....which I'll post here once I get it produced and down loaded....

(some on the Clearance Rack).....and the perfect bow begins with stunning good quality ribbon.....so be sure to head on over to my online store and make your selection today....some of these ribbons are on the retirement list...and available for a limited time only....so don't hesitate....ORDER TODAY!
Ribbon & Trim
