DESIGN BEGINS WITH THE RIBBON

Incredible amounts of time is spent on picking the right ribbon for the right bow! You may not realize that there is truly almost a science to this! Here is a sampling of the thought process behind the bows that I design.

1. What occasion is the bow for?

2. What type of outfit (colors/design) will it be worn with?

3. How many different patterns should I put in the bow?

4. Depending on the first 3, what embellishments, if any does the bow require?

5. Size of the bow? Will this be an OTT BOW or will it be a smaller version?

6. What hairstyle will the recipient be wearing when this bow is worn?

7. Can it be constructed in a safe manner, meaning that parts are not easily taken off or dangerous?

8. What type of shipping container will the bow be in for safe shipping?

9. When is the bow needed?

10. What age will be wearing this bow?

Well that is the top 10 questions I ask myself before starting your creation. Here is an example of the variations of bows created for specific people.
