OT show your bows :D

[worldscollide]

I make wayyyy more than 12 out of a yard! Lol a yard is 60 inches wide by 36 inches in length...

I make my 3" bows 25 inches long. So that makes 20 bows widthwise and then another 6 bows lengthwise. Only 12 bows would definitely not be worth it!

I never even thought about that, I feel so dumb now that I wasted all that fabric! I guess I must cut them the long way. . .me and my blonde brain : )

Do you fold your fabric in half? My cutting mat and ruler are not long enough to cut 28 inches. I think my mat is only 18 inches long and my ruler is 24.

Folding in half is a good idea! I never thought of that lol. I just cut 18 inches, then scoot it up and cut 7 more haha.

i have been making my 2 1/4 inch bows 27 inch and i think they look to small sometimes i would have thought if you go up to 3 inch you would need more fabric. i will have to break down and order stuff on line this week. i am getting bow obsesed lol. also what do you adhere the spandix to the ribbon with. i use two sided fusible webbing for ribbon to ribbon

Thanks! I kinda messed up with the rhinestones on the top but whateverrr

Where did you get the small rhinestones like that? All i can find are the bigger ones

Do you have a Michael's or hobby lobby by you? If you do they both sell smaller rhinestones like that.

I use about 25 - 30 inches in length and I got a spray glue its not the best but it works

 

[worldscollide]

i use a glue gun, just make sure it doesn't show through the fabric though

 

[macefaceee.]

if you fold you're fabric in half, sometimes when you unfold it it has like an indent and then it goes crooked, i just scoot mine up after i cute half of it

[kaileymc]

I'm going to attempt to make my first bow tonight
..well actually I'm not because I have a cast on my arm but I'm going to supervise while my mom tries. hah We couldn't find any 3 inch ribbon so ours is like 2 1/2.. I hope that doesn't ruin it. I'll try to post a picture of it later so I can get yall's feedback.

Nah, they were just regular. I attached them with hot glue, but it's not holding very well so I'm gonna try and find something else. They were in a pack of like 85? I'll see if I can find what they were called next time I go. No prob, though

Really? One time I bought a bow that was put together using spray glue and the fabric started to peel away from the ribbon like 20 minutes later.
