What I've Been Up To This Morning...

[Tonya]

In between chasing after all the kiddos, I made my first loopy bow:



I like it a lot although those things sure take a bunch of ribbon! Now I need to make my daughter something to wear it with...

I also made another chick and bunny:



I have instructions made up for them that I can post if you guys think anyone would be interested.

In honor of making a new bow hanger, I took a pic of it:



It's just a 1x2 board since I needed the hanger itself to take up minimal space and leave more room for bows. I painted it, put an eye at the top to hang it with, and wove some brown and pink ribbon together to wrap around it to decorate it. It has a brown and pink bow too - doesn't match the bathroom, but I had a ton-and-a-half of brown ribbon that was perfect for the four hanging ribbons for the bows. Before you ask, yes I do need to start attending Bowaholics Anonymous meetings. "Um, ... hello my name is Tonya ... and I'm addicted to ribbon."

Hmmmm... now what can I go make? I guess I should be folding laundry or something useful, though...

[mommak]

What instructions are you guys using for these big full loopies? The ones I have don't tell me how to make these

That bow holder is exactly what my dd needs for the grands! I have to show her this! Her dad in law can do the wood. Gee, I wonder where she'd get the ribbon?

I used these instructions: Free Loopy Hair Bow Instructions: loopy bubble bows hairbows, free directions and threw in a bit of tulle and bling just to have fun with it.

Let's see... it's got 7 main ribbons with 4 others and a little tulle that just show up in a couple of other places.

They aren't hard at all - my biggest problem was a bit of pain (I'm pre-carpal-tunnel) from holding it while I wrapped the wire. I'll be making more for sure! Just have to make sure I have my wrist warmer thingys on next time.
