Do you want to make boutique hair bows from start to finish? With this one-of-a-kind original kit, you'll get TWO tutorials on how to make bows, as well as an entire beginner's package of ribbon that will give you enough to practice with AND enough to complete a large layered boutique hair bow. The tutorials are e-books on a disk, and NOT actual, paper books. You will print the files yourself on a printer.
Perfect for a gift for someone special! No difficult templates to lose or re-buy. Let her make bows for her children/grandchildren or for sale. I will package this in special packaging, perfect for gift-giving.
First, what's in the kit:
*A CD with two of my best-selling tutorials: One on how to make boutique bows and bowbands, and the other on how to make korker bows. These will be e-mailed to you after payment as well, but you'll receive a CD in your kit to keep!
*Enough 7/8" ribbon to practice your technique, and then make a boutique bow
*Enough 1.5" ribbon to practice your technique, and then make a boutique bow
*Enough 3/8" ribbon to practice your technique, and then make a boutique bow
*Five (5) completed spikes for your project, cut and heat-sealed for you
*A bowmaking needle and Perle cotton thread
*Four French barrettes
*Four pinch clips, two of each style (single and double-prong)
*A crochet-style headband
*A partially completed boutique bow (no center wrap or clip), so you can compare your work to it
COLORS WILL VARY, but I will keep the kit season-appropriate!
***Please note: You'll still need scissors, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, a ruler, and a way to seal your ribbon ends - either Fray Check, a lighter, or a woodburning tool(spikes are already sealed for you). A complete list of supplies is included in your manual.***
THEN, you'll also get e-books tutorials (with online video access)! These tutorials include:
A jam-packed e-book manual, "Beautiful Boutique Bows and Adorable Headbands" with more than 100 clear photos and instructions on the following topics:
* How to cut and seal your ribbon
* How to make professionally lined clips
* How to complete the boutique bow fold for basic bows or layered bows -- ALL sizes, from mini to large!
* VERY simple thread-and-needle process; no wire.
* How to make the center wraps
* How to make double bows
* How to layer and fuse ribbon
* How to fluff and straighten your bows
* How to make bowbands
* How to make and fan ribbon spikes
* How to make loopies/surrounds
* How to make a figure 8 two-loop topper
* How to put everything together for an elaborate boutique bow
* How to secure embellishments
This book also includes EXACT measurements for my layered boutique hair bows, and for other sizes as well!
PLUS, FREE BONUSES:
INCLUDES VIDEO BLOG ACCESS!! After purchase, I'll tell you how to access my private blog that contains four videos on how to make bows. Instead of simply reading about the steps for making the twisted boutique bow, you'll be able to follow along as I show you how to make one. Additional videos include one on making mini layered bows (perfect for babies, toddlers, and girls who like layered bows but don't want them as large), one on making pinwheel bows, and another on fluffing funky loopy bows. The blog also includes the latest Gymboree line colors and my supplier list.
Your second tutorial will include a 14-page manual, "Cutesy, Curly Korker Bows." Please note that there's not enough ribbon in your kit to make a korker bow.
This 14-page manual includes:
* How to kork your ribbon
* How to seal your ribbon
* How to sew your korkers together
* How to line two different types of clips
* How to add your clips
* Tips and variations
In addition to being a hair accessories designer since 2006, I'm a professional writer and editor, and have taken courses on photography and design. I've paid as much attention to the writing, photography and design of these tutorials as I do with every bow I've made.
