She's a Princess!

This bow started with an unfinished 2" classic bow. I adorned it with a Princess Tiana button center. It is attached to a prelined brown alligator clip. The munchkin insists on wearing one of her Princess Tiana shirts to daycare... AGAIN! So I figured, "She's a Princess" and ought to have a princess bow in her hair.

Stack It!

I know... I know... I said I would lay off the polka dots. But I wanted to make something the munchkin could wear with a shirt I bought from Old Navy. So here it is.My first stacked bow. The stacking concept is really cute and there are lots of different ways to do it. As the months go on I hope to create lots of snazzy stacked bows.
Bow: Brown polyester ribbon
Knot center & spikes: Brown with pink polka dot grosgrain

Bow: 1" ribbon spans 3"
Spikes: 7/8"

Enough with the POLKA DOTS!!!


Ok- so I didn't realize until today, how much polka dot ribbon I have. Enough with the POLKA DOTS!!!  This is the last polka dot bow for at least a week...

I have been working on toddler size bows for my munchkin. this 1" pink with brown polka dot ribbon spans 2". I attached it to a barrette.

I was originally working a spikey bow for today but that isn't taking me a little more time. I am also working with the tutorial I ought and a bow making tool. I hope to master those techniques throughout the month of February.

The Mocha Spot


Although the main color for little girls is pink. I love brown. The Mocha spot is made with grosgrain ribbon in 1 1/2" solid brown and 1" beige with brown spots. I lined an alligator clip with beige 3/8" grosgrain. This style bow is called the bow tie bow, which is the same style as my Red Tie Affair bow. This bow is 2 1/2" which is perfect for my munchkin... Now I need to find her some brown so she can wear it to school. My post is little late today because i have been working on tut's for baby shower table setting. The tutu's are going on little cute brown bears. I'll be sure to post pictures of the completed table settings.


My manual has arrived!!!!
So glad to know that most bows are made with fabric glue and not the hot glue gun.
My fingers are going to love me.!
