I like many people wanted to make some hair bows for my granddaughter, I checked out the different listings on ebay for making bows, and couldn't belive the price some of the sellers wanted for their directions, I started thinking I could buy quite a few bows that were already made for the same price as the directions. So I started searching the internet, thinking that there must be something out there that wouldn't break me before I purchased the ribbon. I came across a web site www.theribbonretreat.com that has a few directions for making some cute bows, now I can buy the ribbon I want and make them myself. The directions are very easy to follow with many pictures. When you get to the site on the left side you will see when it says FREE HOW TO PROJECTS. They also have a ribbon color guide to match Gymboree outfits. Here is the directions they offer:
