How Do You Make A Bow-Making Jig?
A bow-making jig can assist you in creating ribbon bows in a matter of seconds and each bow will come out exactly the size you want, whether it’s small bows for handmade greeting cards, larger bows to decorate wreaths for any holiday, or embellishments for clothing. Wow your crafting friends with this simple tool you’ll use over and over again. It’s amazing how easy it is to make a bow-making jig and the resulting ribbon bows are always perfect! Draw a line down the center of your scrap lumber. Mark 1-inch increments along the pencil line. Beginning with the second mark (2 inches), drill a hole most of the way, but not all the way through the board. Continue drilling at each of the marked 1-inch increments. Glue one of the dowel rods into the first hole. The second dowel rod can be placed into any of the other holes depending on the size of ribbon bow you are creating. Now you are ready to make ribbon bows.
