Korker bows!!

I love love love korker bows!! Perfect any for any little princesses outfit.. Great gifts too! You can make korker bows in just a few simple steps!

Supplies you will need:

Grosgrain ribbon- 100% poleyster (other materials may catch fire)

Wooden dowel rods- 5/16th or other size depending on desired size

Glue gun

Small binder clips

Hair clip

Strong thread or dental floss

All supplies are easily found at craft supply stores, such as, Jo Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby or Michaels.

Step One:

Wrap desired ribbon (spiral motion) around dowel rods. Secure each end of cut ribbon with the binder clips once finished wrapping.

For one full korker bow, you will use aleast two dowel rods, cut to length. If you are wanting to do several bows you can bake all these at the same time.

Step Two:

Place covered dowel rods on a baking sheet and bake in a 250 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Step Three:

Simply remove the clips and unwrap ribbon. Any frayed or uneven ends, simply cut and burn the end with a lighter or wood burner.

Step Four:

Cut entire length of ribbon into 3 to 4 inch pieces. Gather all desired colors and/or ribbon and prepare strong thread.

Step Five:

Cut a piece of strong thread, or even dental floss, about 12 inches (that's plenty to work with!). Place all desired ribbon in the center of the thread and tie a knot. Wrap thread once more and secure with another knot.

Step Six:

Use your ready glue gun to secure ribbon to the hair clip. Let cool. Flip bow over and trim anything you missed earlier, if any, and ENJOY!!
