My BOW MAKING FUN....
Im happy to say that I finally dug out my IKEA dish-dry/display rack (that prior to moving I had always used for making my bows). Does anyone else use a dish-rack for bows or is this just an America thing? LOL!  I have posted a couple of photos below on how I use it. Hope this inspires you to use what you already have and/or hopefully re-purpose those IKEA items.  Anyways, this had been boxed-up since we last moved from North Carolina to Colorado Summer 2016. We didnt get our household goods until the Fall of 2017 - yeap - that's over a year later .  Still, I was thankful to finally have a permanent home address and thrilled to have my crafty goodies back too. Had totally forgotten about this amazing expandable stainless steel dish tool! Can make mini to giant bows!
 Below is a pic of the various size bows that this tool can create. You can go from mini bows -to huge bows!  AND... you can adust and tighten the bows as you are making them (by easily pulling on ends for expanding or contracting the tool) ! Perfect tool to re-purpose and a great way for making multiples at once! You must try this Im gonna call it the "America Bow idea"! lol
