I am so excited, I finally remebered to buy some starch last night, and Oh My Goodness!!!! What a difference starch and kleenex make. I honestly didn't think it would make a bit of difference, I thought it was the way I was making my bows, but it totally poofs them up and makes them pop. Just thought I would share with you my new found love for starch and kleenex!

I think maybe she stuffs the loops with the kleenex and then sprays them to help hold their shape.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! I never thought to stuff my bows.

Sorry ladies I was off to make more bows for tom night, yes i use the kleenex for stuffing the loops and it actually produces a "boutique bow" instead of the crappy flat bow that i have been so frustrated with for weeks now!! The starch is just that Faultless extra crisp with the fresh scent. My only problem is they take forever to dry. I am thinking of mabye taking a hair dryer to them?? I haven't noticed flaking yet but the hair dryer may produce that . I am off to experiment... I will keep you updating on the flaky situation

Yes the Kleenex really helps doesn't it?

I use a hair dryer all the time and that works too. I hate waiting on them to dry. LOL!

I spray all my bows, but never used kleenex to prop them. Thanks for the tips..

I just got the faultless stiff starch right now, but I will be going to whole foods soon to find some All natural starch tom. Any suggestions?

I used the faultless stiff starch too. I sprayed it onto the bows and pop them in the oven for about 5 minutes
