No more fiddly bows! Some days my hands just wont let me tie teeny bows that look good. Then hand sewing them on is another matter. I know many of us are the same, so I have made a little ith heart bow maker to help make pretty bows. It took me longer to find the ribbon than it did to stitch out. Once my little girl see this I know I will be busy popping these on some of her plain t-shirts and the cuffs of pants! I think I better stock up on more ribbon. This ribbon is about 1/4" wide

Ooh I have hand troubles too. Using a sewing needle is impossible. This is a great idea!

The easy way is to use bowdabra. I have several sizes that really work

Very cute. For satin ribbon, I like to pass a flame quickly across the cut edges to keep them from fraying. Practice first on scrap ribbon to get the hang of it.

This works well. Be sure to do it near or over the sink in case the ribbon catches alight or you burn yourself. For really tiny bows it helps to hold them with a pair of haemostats.

What a great idea and so pretty. Some days I also have trouble with my hands, especially when the weather is cold
