Thank you so much for doing this. I love the cheat sheet with all the different variations of bows. Your videos are at a great speed, you are easy to understand, you don't waste time with fluff - you get to it and show good content in the time given. I'm going to search for more of your videos. Great video.
+Jan Asher Thanks so much. If you click on my name it should take you to my channel where all my videos are. I have some sorted into playlists as I have over 300 now. Thanks for your kind comment. Glenda
Hi Melissa, glad it was helpful. I noticed at CHA they announced a new board that will be set up to do the bows. Can't wait to get one. Love my tools. Glenda
Made a bunch of these last week for an embellie challenge. I made them the second way you showed, but now I like the first method you showed, and will have to give that a try! TFS! Hugs, Shonda
I must say I like that idea, my sister has requested bows for Christmas so now I can make her plenty I also would like to say I like the background music
Hi Carol, have fun bow making. I've had to start using the YT free music as I kept having trouble with the videos being blocked in some countries with what I was using, but some of it is quite pleasant. Glenda
Wow, the more I see this little tool, the more I want one ;-) Not feeling well the last few days. But I find I have to go out today. So I'm off to try. TFS Hugs, Jess
I have made these before but you have lots of nice variations. The sheet will be useful for the measurements etc so thanks for doing that..TFS - Hugs Lynn
I don't have any of the punch boards but I was wondering could you use ribbon to wrap around the center, since you can get ribbon in a lots of different widths?
Hi Karen, you can use ribbon for almost anything. You can just use scissors and cut notches at the measurements. Or a square punch would probably work too. Using the paper is just a different look for a bow. Lots of people add flowers or buttons or pearls to the centres instead of wrapping the little strip around. Glenda
Hi Maggie, Bona's tutorials are very good and she is often the first to come up with something. She's probably one of the first people I started watching. Glenda
Margaret Dowling Thank you for the encouragement. Sometimes I have reason to go back and look at something and cringe at what I've posted. But I do my best and that's all any of us can do. Glenda
Our local craft shop (Creative Dreams) carries them. At the moment my favourite is the ScraPerfect writing cap on the ArtGlitter brand Dries Clear glue. It's better than the matt medium I was using and the point on this cap is much more durable. The little bottles with the needle point tend to clog and the pin breaks. The SU pin is far too fine and hard to get in. This pin is substantial enough to put back in easily while the point is still fine enough to be really useful. It's a little more expensive but I considered the little fine tip bottles disposable as they didn't last. Hope that helps. Glenda
Love the cheat sheet and the clever long one piece! This is is so flexible for making different sizes, instead if using cutting dies. Thanks!
Glenda thank you so very much for taking the time to share all your measurements and examples. I find the file extremely helpful.
Glad it was useful.

I love how you made a template! So going to do that also. I have to keep looking for my directions, thus will help so much!! TYFS 💖💖
Made a bunch of these last week for an embellie challenge. I made them the second way you showed, but now I like the first method you showed, and will have to give that a try! TFS! Hugs, Shonda
Hi Shonda, the first way is a fraction quicker and I do like the resulting bow. Glenda
Thank you for a clever use of my punch board! Well done.
Excellent! Thank you for giving measurements! This makes the rest so easy!!

new sub. I didn't realize the different variations you can do to make bows. yrs. ❤ from PA
Thanks for subbing and glad you found something new. Glenda
Wow, the more I see this little tool, the more I want one ;-) Not feeling well the last few days. But I find I have to go out today. So I'm off to try. TFS Hugs, Jess
Hi Jess, if you don't have the tool, you could just cut notches in the right spots. It's just fun to have another tool, not a necessity. Glenda
Thank you for this tutorial. I like the idea of creating the bow from one long strip.
+Jasmin Williams Thanks Jasmin. Glad it was helpful. Glenda
Thank you so very much this is so kind of you. I couldn't understand who you said was the name of the other youtuber. Thanks again!

Hi Lynn, I love my cheat sheets. I think I have something down pat, and go to do it months later and realise I need the prompts. Glenda

Hi Effie, they work on all sorts of projects. You can add a little foam tape in the loops if you think it might get squashed. Glenda
Love the cheat sheet.
+Carolyn Dalton Thank you. Glad it's helpful.
Can I ask where did you get your fine point glue gun please love your bows xx
