    What are the Brilliant Bowmaker Templates? top

    The Brilliant Bowmaker templates are three styles of plastic templates each designed to make a very distinct type of bow. They take the learning curve down to a few minutes for most people. With the templates you can produce consistent, quality bows in much less time.

    What is the difference between the Classic, Snap and Surround templates? top

    Classic bows are a very tailored, flat to the head style of bow. They are great for stacking and easy for beginners. They hold their shape well and are very durable so they are well suited for clothing, hair accessories and greeting cards.

    The book includes 7 techniques including the Basic fold, Stacking, Layering, Criss cross, Long tails, Cheer bows, Stacked with twists and Stacked with tags.

    It also covers supplies, tools, hardware, cutting and sealing ribbon, and comes with a great chart for choosing the size bow, ribbon width and template to use.

    These templates are all about giving you choices. For each step YOU can choose the method you want to use, so you can craft the way you are comfortable working.

    1. Fold your ribbon

    2. Secure by sewing, stapling, melting or gluing

    3. Crease by sewing, folding or tying with thread, elastic, wire or ribbon

    4. Finish with a knot, flat wrap or embellishment

    It's that easy!

    2. Stitch to secure and keep your angles from shifting during use

    Who made the bows I see in stores or craft shows top

    Crafty Americans!

    Mostly Karyn and her family members do the sewing and gluing work for bows. Karyn makes all the ribbon sculptures. Ocassionally friends help out during the busy season with odds and ends.

     

    How are your bows made? top

    All bows are handmade by Karyn or a select staff of artisans. Each bow is sewn thoroughly to resist pulling apart or disfiguring. No chemicals are used in the process.

    Ribbon sculptures may be sewn, or have one of several adhesives used to create it.

    Can I wash my bow? top

    Our bows should be hand washed with luke warm water using mild detergent. Simply hold the bow upside down by the clip and gently agitate in the water. Try not to get the clip wet. Lay the bow on a towel with the clip down to dry. We do not recommend washing korkers or marabou.

    Do you sell Novelty, Specialty or Made to match bows? top

    Yes, please visit us in person at the many craft shows throughout the year, or visit one of the stores that carry Little Pink Ladybug products.

    You can also visit www.zibbet.com/LittlePinkLadybug or www.littlepinkladybug33.etsy.com for one of a kind or ready to ship items.

    Are your bows treated with chemicals? top

    Nope! Every child has different sensitivities, so all our bows are heat sealed for a beautiful finish.

    What kind of clips do you use? top

    Most items default to a CPSIA certified, partially lined alligator clip, with grippy unless stated otherwise in the listing.

     

    What is "grippy" ? top

    Grippy is the unique grip slip pad adhered inside every alligator clip. This rubber grip pad ensures that our alligator clip bows will stay put in even 1 strand of hair!
