Ok, I'm bow making challenged. Will someone post a video of them making a 3"bow with the fabric on the top, like with the cut outs and the curved fabric? What are all of the products you use (type of fabric, glue, and any other bow making methods)? Also, for rhinestones what do you use to attach them? Thanks!
 
I'm just now currently thinking all of this up so im assuming about 18 dollars a month and then if you want to do it for the whole year you'd get a month free? Hows that sound?
Sounds great. Because I wanted to join a bow club for a bow of the month but don't want tacky festive holiday ones haha. And I think most cheerleaders over the age of 8 (maybe younger) would agree.yay I'm excited. U should definitely do this.
 
Ok, I am new to this board but I LOVE IT. I am an All Star director as well as a coach, so this board has been so helpful.
I want to say something about this thread. I started reading it at page one and went all the way through the 65 pages. It was AMAZING.

The All Star program I run is actually targeted to at low income familys and for some of these girls this program is all they have. And frankly although some bows are beautiful the kids simply do not have $20 to spend on a bow. So for years I have been doing their bows for them. I am not the best, but I work hard at it so that my girls feel amazing when they hit the floor. It feels so amazing when they are at a competition and people come up to them and say we really love your bows, they are beautiful. It just gives them such a boast of confidance.

So my point is a HUGE THANK YOU to the people who openly share the tricks of their trade so that cheerleaders all over the country can feel amazing when they put in a beautiful bow before they perform. There are people all over the country to keep their secrets well guarded, and yet here we talk openly about it, to benefit hundreds of cheerleaders. Now that is true community spirit. So thank you to all who contributed.

Ok before I said that it sounds great.and it does, however I'm not so sure about the pricing because you go girl cheer bowz and yella ribbon bow clubs both cost only $25 for the whole year and u get a bow each month, and so I think if I was gonna pay $18 for a bow I might as well pick it out...idk though, it's not up to me to decide the price, just trying to give my opinion.

They've gotten better as I've made them?
 
I. WANT. THIS.

Also, I think the boy's keychain bow would look better if they were V cut at the ends. The straight across just makes them look kind of messy. But I'm IN LOVE with the girls one!!!!
Where do you get these key chains??
 
More bows! :) haha I think theyre getting better, well at least I hope so! Haha. It's hard to get just the right length of ribbon to use though :( I keep switching it up and never remember the lengths lol.
