Thank you for taking the time to slowly and thoroughly explain your thought process! Also, thank you for the free template! Too kind of you! I really enjoyed your "dog's dinner" line. I had to pause the video and laugh.
This is the best cheer bow tutorial. I have been wanting to make nows for my daughters for a long time. Now after watching you I feel confident that I can do it and they will turn out great. Thanks! 😄
Thank you so very much for sharing your secrets on the most Beautiful Bows EVER!😁❣ My daughter is a Cheer Coach and she's always been in either Drill or a cheerleader and Mom, Lol aka ME has always made the team bows but never have I made one so Gorgeous. Thanks again and God bless
Lisa! My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and I recently stumbled across your videos because we LOVE cheer bows! I am a stay at home mom with a 19 mth old toddler and was thinking of doing something to make some cash and kill some time. Well I decided to make cheer bows! We are both super excited and I would love any more information you can share. Thank you so much your videos truly inspired me to embark on this adventure!! P.S. I am from Lillington, North Carolina
I've been making some bows for my daughter and just "figuring" it out as I go. Your technique is way easier then what I've been doing lol THANK YOU FOR THE TEMPLATE AND VIDEO!
you are amazing thank you so much for your kind heart and giving out your wonderful. Everyone else is so secretive about sharing the secret to professional cheer bows. God bless you and your children.
Thank you Taianna, I remember when I first started and how hard it was to get useful information, so I hope to make the process easier for all of you! Just remember to pay it forward so someone else can benefit also. Warm regards, Lisa.
Great tutorial thank you! Your explanations are really easy to understand so don't feel the need to explain everything multiple different ways, you make everything super easy to understand the first time! Thank you so much! Really great looking bows, Which you can tell are super high quality. I'll make sure to check your bows out if I ever need any!
Hi just want to thank you solo much, I have been selling cheer bows but never new all the secrets! Thank you so much for all the secrets I have never been able to figure out, I am so appreciative of your video, I have never seen such a great video!! Thank you
Thank you for sharing this video most people that make cheer bows don't wanna share how they do them but you did thank you so much for that I am going to try to make one of them and even start my business
I'm from Australia, and I went to Spotlight today to try to buy all the materials but I couldn't find 75mm ribbon only 66mm... anyone know where i can find some?
LemonBarchie Hi, We purchase all our grograin ribbon on line from ebay sellers, there is an Aussie store called Sarah Lauren who keeps some stock of the 75mm grosgrain in limited colours.
Hmm ok, might have to order something, I tried with the 66mm ribbon and made a mini bow, which I think I will give to my little cousin who also cheers, might suit her size better than the normal size bows anyway :)
Awesome job. Loved the folding tips. I like the way the tails lay with your folding tips. Very helpful and will save me $$$ by making our own bows versus buying at Competitions.
A quick tip--if you are getting glue strands from the hot glue, blow the bow quickly with a hair dryer. It will cause those strands to shrink right up and disappear. When I was a florist, we did this all the time when we glued in elements to a fresh/silk design or planting.
Enjoyed the tutorial so much. I've been bonding the heat & bond to the spandex and cutting them to the length and width needed, but I will try your method of attaching it to the grosgrain ribbon instead.
Hi, I just want to say you're AWESOME! I cant wait to use your bow template, I already use about the same pinching technique, but without the alligator clip(which now I also can't wait to use!lol) I also wanted to give you an easy idea, instead of using the twist ties, try using zip ties, they are so much easier. You can start by just tightening it a little so you can "fluff" the bow to your liking and then pull it all the way tight when it's positioned to your liking. Thanks again for all you do!
Keri Stanton Hi Keri, Thanks for the great feedback, I have used zip ties before also, you're right the fine ones work really well, my old hands just seem to prefer the twist ties!
I lOVE your video! Do you have template/tutorial for making these using 2.25' (58mm) wide ribbon. I would like to make a smaller version that looks just like these. Thanks so much!
Alexis Kelly You don't say where you are from? Let me know and I will see if I can help, Amazon is pretty good if you are in the USA I get mine from Sullivans here in OZ (fusible web) but you need an ABN to buy from them, hope this helps
+PayItForward Hello for a 30 inches (76 cm) piece of ribbon what would be the measurements of the 3 colors of strip to make a 3 colored bow? I am trying to make a red white and blue bow with the white being one of the loops and tail and the red and blue the other loop and tail. thank you for your help!! hope to hear from you soon!
Hello Lisa, thank you for this very detailed tutorial. it is the most helpful i have seen so far. i am just getting into making cheer bows. watching your videos makes me feel more confident about creating them. now i just have to find my suppliers. 3" wide ribbons are quite hard to find in europe when you don't know where to look. greetings from Switzerland, you rock!
Hi Lisa! Thank you for the great video! This is something I've been wanting to try but wasn't sure I could do it. But with your step by step guidance I think I'll be good! Can you tell me the name and the measurements of the Heat Bond roll you purchase. I haven't been able to find a "roll" anywhere just smaller pieces at my local craft store. Thank you for your help!!!!
Also, when printing this template, what should it be scaled to? My print out does not look the same as the template you are using in this video…or can you provide the measurement of the end of the tail to the meeting point of the template…it looks like it’s about 6 inch tails. Thank you!
Hi, Glad you found this tutorial useful, the measurement from the end of the tail to the meeting point is 4 inches on my print out, I hope this helps! All my suppliers are here in Australia and are local to us so I'm not sure if these will be of any use to you, are you in the USA? Kind regards, Lisa.
Good for you for taking the time to share this info. Those of us that had to figure it out through trial n error wouldve loved this!!! I have one question I'm curious about. Why do u use those twisted ties opposed to zip ties? I've used both n have found that the zip ties make the bows last 10 times longer than the twist ties as long as the pony o is put in the zip tie n a lil pie of the 10m ribbon on the pony o where it touches the zip tie. If ya haven't yet, give it a try! Let me know if it works better for ya and again, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Can you please make a video on how you add the graphics/lettering to your cheerbows? I have looked EVERYWHERE and I can find nothing. It would mean so much. Thanks
Number 1 is Repress, number 2 is some brands of heat and bond are better than others, sometimes the gluey web comes adrift this usually doesn't affect the finished bow unless it as at the tail end. Tip if you have a sheet of heat and bond that has separated repressing it to itself will adhere the glue web back to its backing paper. Hope this helps.
It's so unusual to see people sharing their secrets like this! hahaha Thank you so much! I'm fundraising because my friends mum wont be able to make it to battles in august and I'm making bows to fundraise! Thank you so much this is so helpful!!
***** I am on your side! I am the authentic Aussie battler, as far as giving secrets away that is what PayItForward is all about we achieve nothing by keeping good things to ourselves. Thankyou for your feedback and now your job is to pay it forward!
Hi just checked the link and it seems to be working now, I wonder if the server was having an issue - maybe if you copy and paste the link in here it is again freepdfhosting.com/5843a6e764.pdf
+Claire Paul yes it is a big bow, Some cheerleaders especially juniors and youth teams prefer the 2.5 inch bow. Easy enough to reduce just use 63mm ribbon as your base instead of the 75mm.
+PayItForward thanks... I have just made it a little shorter and seems to work on me :) if I make for smaller people than me though I will defiantly use the smaller ribbon
hey, i have a problem. the ribbon is solves from the fabric, with the time. the heat and bond are allways on the ribbon. can you help me? sry for my english
+Mary Morales-Alvarez Hi Mary, I don't have it digitally only in hard copy. Just reduce size. Easy enough to do even in printer settings if you don't have an imaging program.
Thank you for the instructions. The only heat press I can find has steam. I thought steam was no good for vinyl. Does your heat press have steam and if so, how do you handle that? Thank you.
How do you do the texting on the cheer bows. I have an order to fill and send out by the end of the week 6/14/14 is when I have to mail them out. Can you please do that video this week? Thank you
love your tutorial... only wish I had found this before I finished 35 of the 45 cheer bows I am working on! lol I am curious though.. any reason why you don't use zip ties to hold the ponytail holders in? I have been so paranid about mine coming out, i thought the zip ties would be best, but then i hated using the fabric/ribbon in the centers for the same reason you said you don't wrap your bows.
caden92 Hi, these bows work really well if you fuse two pieces of grosgrain ribbon together with the fusible webbing, this makes them a much better weight for folding.
Thank you sooo much for all your tutorials.... hoping you can help me.... i am using your template for some bows that i am making for a cheer camp... i was given this job last minute so i wasn't able to find 3" ribbon in the quantity that i need so i have to use 2" ribbon..... my question is.... should i change the length of my ribbon? And if so what should the length be? I know i can cut the tails to make them as short as i want, but I don't want to be wasteful since it is for a fundraiser. Please help!
Can you provide a link to where you buy your bulk heat and bond and Lycra. I'd rather buy from a trusted company than some unknown name on the internet. Thanks for your videos.

So excited to try making one for Christmas for my cheer obsessed friend :P

Wonderful Video! Thank you for sharing your secrets and template.
A quick tip--if you are getting glue strands from the hot glue, blow the bow quickly with a hair dryer. It will cause those strands to shrink right up and disappear. When I was a florist, we did this all the time when we glued in elements to a fresh/silk design or planting.

Cby Bailey Hi , happy to be a help, this way just ends up a little quicker!
Hello thanks for the tutorial God bless you am thawing to get the template but this is coming up You need access
Hi, I just want to say you're AWESOME! I cant wait to use your bow template, I already use about the same pinching technique, but without the alligator clip(which now I also can't wait to use!lol) I also wanted to give you an easy idea, instead of using the twist ties, try using zip ties, they are so much easier.

Thank you so much I'm an allstar cheerleader and I wanted to know how to make a cheer bow for a while and this helped A LOT
Happy to help!
Thank You so much! I'm looking forward on adding text and etc.!
This was perfect! Thank you so much! I've been trying to make my own bows but they didn't look very good! This helped me soo much!
You are very welcome Lexi, Good luck with your next ones!
Thank you so much, this has been long awaited! I’ve been stalking the Facebook page lol
This was great, thank you...can't wait to see the next one ;)
Very good hairbow!!!
You're the best person I know at making cheer bows. They look so cool I wish I knew how to make one.I am Maia
Sorry I spelled it wrong it's Maya
this video was great and really helped me! you should make a video on how to cut the heat n bond to exactly 3 inches wide and how to heat press it!
What are measurement adjustments if I need to make 2” wide bows? This is an amazing tutorial! I will be making my Highschool cheer teams bows!
That was an awesome video. I think I can make those bows! Thank you very much.
Judy Blaise I'm sure you can too! Good luck!
I lOVE your video! Do you have template/tutorial for making these using 2.25' (58mm) wide ribbon. I would like to make a smaller version that looks just like these. Thanks so much!
I don't have this template available for download (I have it in my files) Just resize my template. Width goes from 75mm to 58mm from memory.
Can you make a tutorial on the heat press process
Alexis Kelly You don't say where you are from? Let me know and I will see if I can help, Amazon is pretty good if you are in the USA I get mine from Sullivans here in OZ (fusible web) but you need an ABN to buy from them, hope this helps

Sorry haven't been on you-tube for ages. Not exactly sure what you you are after but you will just have to do the math same as would have to.
Thank you so much for your videos! I appreciate them.
Starting a cheer bow tomorrow thanks to your tutorial! Thanks for all the great information. How hot does your pressing iron get?
I love all your tutorials! You are a perfectionist like me, Lol!
Hello Lisa, thank you for this very detailed tutorial. it is the most helpful i have seen so far. i am just getting into making cheer bows. watching your videos makes me feel more confident about creating them. now i just have to find my suppliers. 3" wide ribbons are quite hard to find in europe when you don't know where to look. greetings from Switzerland, you rock!
afriyieunique Thank you , I am very pleased to hear that I rock!!
Not as easy as it looks but easy to follow instructions are extremely helpful for this beginner. THank you!
Hi Bev - no it t is not easy! But once you have made a few hundred it will feel easy.
+PayItForward what kind of material did u say
Hi Lisa! Thank you for the great video! This is something I've been wanting to try but wasn't sure I could do it. But with your step by step guidance I think I'll be good! Can you tell me the name and the measurements of the Heat Bond roll you purchase. I haven't been able to find a "roll" anywhere just smaller pieces at my local craft store. Thank you for your help!!!!
Hello, first off love videos.
I tried it but having few issues.i didn't realize ribbon was 2" instead of 3" but I see now..will keep trying
I used 75mm in the video which is 3" if using 58mm ribbon you will need to adjust the template accordingly.
Also, when printing this template, what should it be scaled to? My print out does not look the same as the template you are using in this video…or can you provide the measurement of the end of the tail to the meeting point of the template…it looks like it’s about 6 inch tails. Thank you!

Kelly, what's the name of the tool that you use to burn the edges of the cheer Bows? thanks in advance!
Hi, thank you so much, can you put the link below to how to add text? Thanks!
you could apply clear nail polish at the ends of satin ribbon to prevent fraying.
+erica huang You can, we used to when we first started but it's not a very good result and it is slower.
Can you please make a video on how you add the graphics/lettering to your cheerbows? I have looked EVERYWHERE and I can find nothing. It would mean so much. Thanks
coming soon!
I cant find your iron board thing anywhere is there another option like regular irons but still great tutorial and now my bows will all be on fleek
+Naafua neal Hi, this bow can be made using a regular iron. Good Luck!
Is that some kind of fabric that you use on the bows I like that shiny looking style please help
Do you have a wave pattern template you could share our do a tutorial on? Love your videos.
Hello! Great video! Any hints on what to do if you have areas where heat and bond does not adhere?? THanks!!
Number 1 is Repress, number 2 is some brands of heat and bond are better than others, sometimes the gluey web comes adrift this usually doesn't affect the finished bow unless it as at the tail end.

Hi i have to make my cheerleading teams cheer bows this year but i dont know where to buy the heat n bond in bulk.

Hi i live in the USA and am trying to find a heat press can you please help me?
Do you always use lycra on the bow? I have seen so many jutst made with ribbon what the need for the material?
Instead of he bonding material could you use some type of glue such as fabric glue?
Sarah Mitchell Yes you can and some do but the result isn't as good.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I can't wait to try! I was wondering, do you have bows available for puts chase?(:
This is a great tutorial... Do u have an image of these bows in the hair? I have made one and found it very large in my hair
+Claire Paul yes it is a big bow, Some cheerleaders especially juniors and youth teams prefer the 2.5 inch bow. Easy enough to reduce just use 63mm ribbon as your base instead of the 75mm.
+PayItForward thanks... I have just made it a little shorter and seems to work on me :) if I make for smaller people than me though I will defiantly use the smaller ribbon
great tutorial thank you for sharing the aussie way
The ad was kian's movie trailer!😍 kian is bae
Ms. Linda, please advise your favorite websites to get supplies/fabric from. Thank you!
What is the length you cut the ribbon for us Americans that don't use metric? It is about 30inches?
have you ever made them with bows smaller than 3 inches wide?/75 cm
What protective sheet would you use and could you
Show the ironing for making the bows
hey,
i have a problem. the ribbon is solves from the fabric, with the time. the heat and bond are allways on the ribbon. can you help me?
sry for my english
If I wanted to make a bow using 2" ribbon, how would the length of the ribbon and template change?
Great video! I am in Nebraska. Where do I find the template? Again, thank you!
+iluvabcd freepdfhosting.com/5843a6e764.pdf
I love the video!! Just wondering if you have a template for a slightly smaller bow.
+Mary Morales-Alvarez Hi Mary, I don't have it digitally only in hard copy. Just reduce size. Easy enough to do even in printer settings if you don't have an imaging program.
Thank you for the instructions. The only heat press I can find has steam. I thought steam was no good for vinyl. Does your heat press have steam and if so, how do you handle that? Thank you.
Michelle Mitchell Ours didn't have steam. Good luck
Thank you for your tutorials, they are so helpful. I wanted to ask how you keep your cheer bows stiff?
Kelly McDonald Hi Kelly, adding the lycra using this method gives you a perfect firm but flexible bow, that is why we use Lycra.
How do you do the texting on the cheer bows. I have an order to fill and send out by the end of the week 6/14/14 is when I have to mail them out. Can you please do that video this week?
Thank you
Where did you get your heat and bond
If you were to ship these individually, what size box would you use?
do u add a spray to make the cheer bows hard.
hola solo tengo una duda como es que se pega la tela al liston sin dehilarse, saludos y mil gracias!!!
solo encontre liston de 2 pulgadas :(
How would you add lace to your cheer bows?
love your tutorial... only wish I had found this before I finished 35 of the 45 cheer bows I am working on! lol I am curious though.. any reason why you don't use zip ties to hold the ponytail holders in? I have been so paranid about mine coming out, i thought the zip ties would be best, but then i hated using the fabric/ribbon in the centers for the same reason you said you don't wrap your bows.
Jenn Walker You can use fine zip ties, I just prefer less bulk at the back of the bow, its a personal choice.
What do you find is the best way to efficiently cut 3 inch heat n' bond strips? Thanks for any guidance -- Kim
Thank you so much!!! Its very much appreciated :)
If I were to make these just out of the grosgrain, how would I make it stiff? Thank you!
caden92 Hi, these bows work really well if you fuse two pieces of grosgrain ribbon together with the fusible webbing, this makes them a much better weight for folding.
Could you use the grosgrain as the front and the lycra as the back of the bow?
I would double up on grosgrain rather than waste the expensive lycra. Double grosgrain make a nice inexpensive bow.
PayItForward When will you be uploading the video on how to take images from online and transfer them onto the bows? Can't wait to see it.
Where do your grossgrain and fabric ?
Thank you sooo much for all your tutorials.... hoping you can help me.... i am using your template for some bows that i am making for a cheer camp... i was given this job last minute so i wasn't able to find 3" ribbon in the quantity that i need so i have to use 2" ribbon..... my question is.... should i change the length of my ribbon? And if so what should the length be? I know i can cut the tails to make them as short as i want, but I don't want to be wasteful since it is for a fundraiser. Please help!
Can you provide a link to where you buy your bulk heat and bond and Lycra. I'd rather buy from a trusted company than some unknown name on the internet. Thanks for your videos.
