I have seen online bow makers like bow easy
which is an awesome tool...congrads to those that have it!
(oh & watch the tutorial with it cause it is fab)
but I could not find them to order here in canada
so I was thinkin this morning
(I know crazy)
so I took an old whiteboard calender from last year
rounded it with my corner rounder
and voila!!!
I made 3 different sizes but you could make it any size
& I saved this plastic from the landfill :)
thanks for lookin

Great work you smarty pants you!!
Kay it took under five minutes for me to grab a lid off my formula can that was headed to the landfill measure cut...don't really need a corner rounder, eyeballed it and cut with my scissors and had a bow made in mere minutes...gonna make smaller ones too...they are just too "neat and tidy" not too! Thanks Nessa! now I'm gonna send the gals in to peek!
Brilliant V..okay this is so freaking good..now I have to figure this out..do you just loop it over the sides a few times and then up the middle...sorry I'm obviously missing something..maybe I just need to play...thanks again lady.
no sweet T...watch the video at my link
super cool!!!!
I had a couple different sized homemade ones too, but last time I made a purchase at Stamp and Create, I picked up a Bow Easy, they're pretty cheap. Never thought to use a corner rounder, very smart!
Oh, and they do ship to Canada, that's where I am, too.
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Think I'll make a couple for myself.

Wow that looks toooo easy!! When I went to order one they were sold out :( Will just have to keep trying~~they must be good :)

This is fab so much easier than fiddly fingers, I'm struggling with tiny bows just now so will give it a go later. Thanks for sharing Julye
Cute idea. Never thought to make my own
Fantastic idea! It beats getting a fork from the kitchen all the time (they can be done with forks as well!!).
Phantastic idea! Now, my bows will be prettier :) thanks
Thats such a simple yet great idea. thanks for sharing it and describing it so well.
Yey!!! Finally a tutorial with pictures on how to make a nice bow without having the bow easy tool :P thank you for sharing this info I will give it a try.

What a great idea....I am going to have to try this as I just made two bows and they were a pain in the butt. Thanks a bunch.

That's a great idea!! Mum and I are very "bow challenged" and it's so frustrating trying to get the tails on the same side!! Think I'm gonna go and find some plastic and make some of these - the video makes it look so easy!!
Thanks for sharing!
