Bow I just made :)

Okay so is there something else that I could use to hold the layers of ribbon together instead of hot glue? Because when it dries after gluing them all together it's reallly tough to fold the bow and it is still...just FYI I think sewing is a last resort for me because me and needles do not mix well!! And when I make my bows the tails are almost touching the top parts of the bow...I need a really good video to help me out and I've seen the one on wiki but are there any other good ones?

I was thinking the same thing./: I use hot glue to put them together, too. If you read farther back in the thread, someone mentioned Heat N Bond. I'm not sure exactly how it works, and they said it might me a little hard to fold with that too. If you have to use hot glue, make sure you put the ribbon on as soon as you apply glue, and press down a little bit. Less is more. :)

Isn't heat n bond something you iron on?
 
Heat n Bond is iron-on. Another product is Stitch Witchery. You can buy it by the yard at Joann's. It is also available pre-cut in various widths, such as 1/4 or 1/2 inch. That may be a bit more expensive. Also, there are different weights/thickness. The heavier it is, the more difficult it will be to work with when making bows.
