Hi all! I'm very new to bow making, and wanted to show off a couple of the bows that I've made! The korker is on a ponytail holder. The pink and green one is on an alligator clip. Please let me know what you think!

I can't even get my korkers to look like that! Nice job!

Your korker is very nice and full looking! I really like it. On your stacked bow, I love your color choices and the loops seem even. I would maybe use wider spikes and stay away from satin as a spike. It tends to get floppy.

Thanks for sharing with us!!!

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions! That was the first stacked bow I ever made! I've been looking at pictures, and trying to replicate as best as I can. I'm still trying to figure out ribbon widths and types. To be quite honest, I loved the green ribbon I used for the spikes as soon as I saw it! It has a striped side, and I really thought I had picked up a really cool grosgrain! Oops!

WoW! Your korker looks GREAT. I'm new at making bows too and when I"ve tried Korkers, mine end up flat. It's not a waste though because I just put an embellishment in the middle, but still, I can't seem to do what you've done here. I LOVE IT!
Great job.
The 2nd one is nice too, maybe the little pink bow needs a little symmetry, but the polka dot bow is just GREAT, the loops are really really nice.

Your korker looks great and very full looking!
The second one needs some work just because it seems a little uneven to me. but that is just my opinion!
