I was wondering do they have to be grosgrain ribbon? Or can you use like sheer organza or Satin ribbon as well?

[mommycraftsalot]

@melissaandjer You can use organza but just keep an eye on it while baking. Same amount of time but just check every few minutes.

Can U do a Video of how to attach bottlecaps to korkers???? please&thank u !! =)

[mommycraftsalot]

@heymeranda Let me check my VERY MESSY craft room and see if I can find some bottle caps : )

[lovenails613]

why do you wet the ribbon ?

[mommycraftsalot]

@lovenails613 It's just the method I prefer. You can just pop them in the oven without baking but I have found my curls look better and stay "korked" better with a little water first.

[mommycraftsalot]

@mommycraftsalot without "wetting with water" ....(that's what I meant) You still have to bake!

@mommypanda26 I would suggest wetting the strips with spray starch if you try it. The starch will help keep the spirals in. Good luck!

[kristeniihrh]

That is fantastic! I knew how to make korkers but did not know how to make a korker-only bow. This is so simple! And that box idea is ingenious! Thanks for sharing!

where do you get the elastic that you use? (:

[misstexasdiamond]

I love the video. Question could you actually curl the ribbon ahead of time and store them that way then later use them?

OH MY GOODNESS I could not stop watching..your tutorials are so easy and has gotten me in the mood to start trying these bows since I have 3 grand-daughters. You really explain very well THANK YOU

[MsCourtney205]

[lexaEbella]

What thread is best? What's it called and where can I buy it?

[mommypanda26]

Could I use a old uniform skirt if I cut it in strips and baked it also?

[ldjbvljbXD]

could we use a pencil instead?

[melissaandjer]

@mommycraftsalot Thank you :)
