Korker Bows

I've been making these korker bows for the Little Diva. My first try at them was a big mess. My sister said to bake them at 375 for 25 minutes. Well she thought that's what it was but it's not. I had brown crispy burnt ribbon, dowels, and cloth pins. Let's also add that I forgot about them and that didn't help either.
So I turned to U TUBE for instructions. It's 25 minutes with your oven set at 275.

You just need dowels and clothes pins. I bought my dowels at Wal-Mart. There's a package with different sizes. I like mine with all different variety of sizes in the bow. You can just buy a long dowel and cut it up. Wrap the ribbon up on the dowel secure both sided with a cloth pin and bake. I bought one of these silver things to bake mine in. That way it's always clean and I keep my dowels and pins in it.

When they have cooled I cut the ribbon in 3 inch pieces and seal the ends.

I use a lighter for this.

Take some a needle and thread and thread the pieces together.
Depending how big you want it. I like her bows to be really full so I use 20-30 pieces. Since she pulls her bows off I thread it a few times and then I loop it around a few time. You can then get fancy and glue ribbon around your clip. But like I said she pulls on them so I glue and sew the clip on.
WALLAH you have a korker bow.

Hope you were able to follow I'm lousey at directions. I've heard you can put starch on the ribbon when you bake to help keep it stiff. I haven't tried this since my Little Diva puts it in her mouth.
