I have long wondered how
korker hairbows were made. I foolishly thought that there was special curling ribbon and wondered why I never saw it in the stores. I finally googled it and it's amazing! All you do is wrap your regular old ribbon around a 1/4" dowel, secured at each end with binder clips, and...get this...bake it in your oven at 250 degrees for 20 minutes. I never would have thought of that! I fired up my toaster oven so that I didn't have to waste so much electricity and gave it a try. It is fabulous!
My son has a birthday party to go to this weekend so I made his friend a
hairbow hanger with a stuffed butterfly on the top. On the ribbon, I hung one large, raspberry colored
korker bow and a set of smaller blue polka dot hair barrettes. My son chose the ribbons.
I love making hairbows for my daughter (the one who is old enough not to put them in her mouth). The korkers are so much fun to make and I am happy to add them to my
hairbow making
repertoire!

ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot! I love the hairbow hanger idea - that's a fantastic gift for a little girl!!
ReplyDeletePretty! I have long wanted to try making these but never seem to get around to it...these make me want to reorganize my 'to do' list. My daughter would love some!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love them. I remember when I made hairbows for my daughter. She had beautiful dark hair. She grew up so quickly :-(
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I'll have to remember this project for future birthday gifts. Or I just need to have my own little girl. I like that option the best!
ReplyDeleteThat is very fun!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet butterfly hanger! I learned the magic of making the bows a few years ago when my girls were in cheer. So fun!
