[tabbi0120]

Does someone have a tuturial on how to make the itty bitty boutique bows out of 3/8" ribbon? Do you use some kind of template? If its homemade and you dont mind sharing picture or instructions on how to make it id really appreciate it! Thanks!

I need to get some written, it is a different fold than the twisted or the pinwheel

I use the NBNG templates for these, but I'm sure some of the ladies can share other methods.

I use my NBNG templates to do mine and just twist it like I do a regular sized one. Super easy, but I use tweezers to twist them because they are so tiny. I attached a pic to see if this is what you are talking about. The bows are on a towel because I was starching them. Someone else may have a better way, but that's how I do it.

yes those are what im talking about! If anyone has a free method please share! I plan on buying templates in the future but have to hold off on that purchase for a bit! I used the hip girl homemade template method to make the itty bitty basic bow but havent found something for these.

I basically do them this way, but I use my NBNG template to make even loops: http://www.girlythingsbows.com/boutique_bow.html. I don't sew them, I tie them. I use a Gator Bite, as well, but for the itty bitties I use a double prong clip like I would a Gator Bite.
