Quick bow lesson

I use alligator clips for my bows. I get them at Sally's beauty supply, you can get 100 for $5. You can use almost any kind of ribbon. I buy whatever is on sale. To do the Cork screw bows, take dowel rods and wrap the ribbon around it holding it in place with cloths pins on both ends. Then put it on a cookie sheet and bake it for 30 min. at 250. Then I gather them in the middle and hot glue a ribbon (the tighter the better) and glue it to the clip, it's actually very simple. If you have questions let me know.
