I made this one smaller loops and more loops than before and on a 3" barrett. last one was on a 60mm, I thought it was ok for a first time.

Thanks

I am trying to find simple bows to do. My boutiue bow doesn't look right . So I am trying a few others.

Love it Nancy!

Those are great! About how much ribbon do you use for each one? In my experience those loopy bows suck up the ribbon really quick!! Yours are gorgeous :)

It looks good. This one is definitely not round, lol. But now you have two options for your loopy bow. I think some may like the round one.

I proably did use a little ribbon for it. I just left it on the rolls and make my loops then wired them around and keep doing that until I got to the end, then cut.
I think the size of loops make a big difference too.

another thing I think that I will do if these sell or I try to do a craft show, would be to use a small pc of ribbon and hot glue it over the wire. The more I see that wire the more I don't like it showing even if it is on the back side.
and also maybe someone's hair would not get caught up in it( like a saftey thing) I guess.

That sounds like a very good idea, thats what I would do.

I make these, I use about 20" of ribbon, 5-6 colors and put them on the 40mm french barrett. I'ts a little hard sometimes, but when you push them towards the middle more, they will look more round.

I use thread to wrap my loops when I make these. No worries about wire snagging hair.

I like them both but the first one stands out more for some reason, maybe the round and the colors.

i made on of these a few months back and what i did was use one of the colors. i used 3/8 and wrapped it around going between the loops. its looks good and u cant see ANY wire at all!!

I think it's adorable! I have such a hard time making them that I've given up.

[kavettahulse]

Very cute!! I love those kind of bows.

[Gulana94]

I like the color combination nicely done

[kavettahulse]

Very cute!!

Ive only made 2 of these but also used thread for them, much easier to manipulate than wire i would think ( more pliable) ( i only used thread cause i didn't have any wire) it seemed to work well. Loris

I have made a few of these myself. I used good wire(Beadalon) for the first one and the second I used dental floss. The wire scared me thinking of a poor child getting poked.

Very cute! They do take a lot of ribbon.

[s_hernandez402]

Looks good, I like the colors

[JakeGiginLolasMommy]

Looks great! I've tried loopy bows and I didn't like the way they looked. I agree, they did take up a lot of ribbon.

[Ms. Wildflower]

Nice looking bow, and in Nebraska colors is even better...lol.
