WCA Elementary Cheer Bows

I was asked to make bows for the elementary cheerleading team at the school my husband teaches at. I was so excited that they asked me to do this for them! This was my first experience with attaching a bow to a ponytail holder rather than a barrette/clip. I liked the finished bow and think I might make some for myself! I had fun making all twelve of the bows and can't wait to see the team together with them on!

Korker and Loopy Bows

I have been wanting to try some new bow-making techniques and happened upon a few I wanted to try: korker bows and "loopy" bows. I really enjoyed making both types of bows. The korker bows take some time to make only because you have to wrap and "cook" your ribbon first, but then they come together pretty fast. The "loopy" bows are actually quite simple and come together quickly as well. Here are some pictures of my first attempts at each type. I have been working on more of both of these types of bows and also a couple of other techniques and I hope to add more pictures soon!
