Bows

While the kids are away I'm trying to stay busy so I don't go crazy waiting for KO.
Since the stuffed monster I made was designed to be given away I thought I'd work on some more things to donate to Operation Christmas Child.

Here's what I came up with:

I didn't want to make too many toys (I already have bought a few to throw in anyway). And what little girl, no matter where they live, doesn't love a big pretty bow. So I threw these together yesterday.

Here's a close up of the pink and black because I love the jewel in the middle:

How cute are the pink and black zebra stripes over the matching grosgrain? I love it!

I didn't want to spam you with too many pictures so that's the only close up. But I'll give quick descriptions for the others.
The red and white and black is a simple "spike" bow. Honestly, I'm not crazy about it, I may go back an angle the ends of the white so you can see more of the polka dots under it.

A pretty pink flower, one I love to make because they always look so cute. This one is about 5 inches wide, I made 2.5 inch ribbons for the petals because I always neglect to think about the fact that it's only on side.

Purple ric rac and blue satin over a polka dotted grosgrain ribbon for the next. I may go back and secure a few spots on this one so it holds its fan shape.

A long red bow. Simple but elegant. The ribbon has a white printed heart pattern, which is why I chose to use a white heart for the center.

And finally a simple sheer purple and white bow, with a half "pearl" center.


That's all for now,
Jo!
