It's getting korky in here!

I attempted the korker bow again. This time I am going to starch them so they hold their shape. Unlike before I made it a bit smaller which I think makes it cuter. Another tip I learned is that korkers should be full. The munchkin is going to wear it hopefully. She is becoming more opinionated these days about her clothing options. The yellow korker is on a partially lined double alligator clip. The orange korker is not quite finished yet. But I will attach it to a partially lined orange clip. This really is a fun bow to make. Well "it's getting korky in here!"




 Till tomorrow...

"I'm all korked up!" Pt. 2

Celebrating the completion of my first month of Make Something 365!!!! Wow! One month down... 11 more to go. Now on to today's creation.

"I'm all korked up!" Part 2... Today I created a korker bow, using zebra print, red and plain white 3/8" ribbon. I attached the korker bow to a black headband. I think this cute for tween girls who may have out grown the Korker bows. Something about a headband that makes them feel a lil older but still young and cute.

I'm all korked up!

The theme for this week is "I'm all korked up!" Korker bows are cute for little girls, cheerleaders, and sweet & sassy teens. I plan on using my oven more this week than ever. Today's korker bow is attached to a barrette, using white, red, and a red diamond design ribbon. All ribbon is 3/8".

Put a KORKER in it!

Put a KORKER in it!

Who knew you could bake ribbon? Korker bows are taken through a heating (oven) process. Although I could not find a definative answer as to why it is called a Korker Bow... Here is my first Korker.

It's cute and curly and very girlie!!!

I used 3/8" grosgrain, in various shades of Pink. The Korker is attached to a pre-lined pink alligator clip. Korkers seem to look best in pairs. I've read that it's the bow of choice for Cheerleaders. You'll see some more Korkers. The size of the curl varies according to the size of the dowel used to make them. So I will try making using different sized dowels. I am off to bed... 

Bow-bye!
