[Sophie]

Ok I got some of it off but there are bigger black spots on the back of the ribbon. Any other ideas?

You burned the ribbon. you have the lighter to far under the ribbon and the ribbon was tilted. its happened to me before as well

FINALLY FINISHED! I made 30 of these, one for each girl with whichever their main position is on the team.

All bows are 7 dollars or 21 dollars for 4 bows. PM me for more information.
Okay I'm done for a while now beause my fingers hurts so bad.
Oh and some of these are not finished

I'm making the bows for out jv team, which im also on. And this is they are gonna look like! (doesnt have a center or pony tail yet) I'm in love with them

Being a bow maker is my full time job and I have a staff of 1 full time person and 2 part-time people. It is very frustrating because people do not give us very much notice at all when it comes to ordering. I will get calls to make 125 bows in less than a week. I get individual orders from my site also. Coaches need to give more notice if they want them done in a respectable amount of time.

For the Alia those are stickers that I glued on.... for the G I printed it out on the computer, then ironed a sheet of heat transfer to the navy fabric, then traced the G on the paper backing and cut them out then ironed them to the ribbon.

This is Yella Ribbon bow but I have a question.
How does she put those rhinestone on bow? One by one or is there any trick to put them all together?

there's no way she's doing them one by one. I'm not 100% sure of her method, but there's machines that you can make your own rhinestone templates with, and I'm sure that's what's being used.

My mom's sewing store has a machine where you can create a design and the printed out sheet has holes in it where you put the rhinestones and then just iron it on and VOILA, the rhinestones are applied. It's still time consuming though cause you have to use tweezers to put the stones in place. For straight lines (similar to the picture but not as complex) I usually buy pre-made iron on strips and apply them that way.

What others have said or using Hotfix Transfer Sheets. You basically place the rhinestones how you want, lay the Hotfix Transfer over it (so the color side sticks), place on ribbon and iron. Keeps them in place while ironing so no get out of place.

I also know people you use heat applicators for rhinestones, it's basically like a little heat gun iron that has attachments for the different sizes and you iron each rhinestone individually
