Oven Curled Ribbon



My daughter finally has enough hair to put one bow on top of her head...we call her PEBBLES! So I can't put a big flower up there, and I LOVED the curled ribbon at Gymboree but at $5.00 a set that gets really expensive if you want one to go with EVERY OUTFIT! So I figured out how to make it myself! You can curl just about any ribbon that has polyester in it!


Wrap the ribbon around a squewer, a knitting needle, a pencil...ETC. When wrapping it make sure there are not any creses or you will see them after they have baked. Put clothes pins at either end to hold the edges of the ribbon. MIST with water.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees put aluminum foil over your cookie sheet and place in the oven once preheated for 10 minutes. Once they are done take them out and let them cool and finish drying on the stove. TA DA!! You have cute curled ribbon!

NOW FOR THE HAIR BOW!

I just got 7 layers of ribbon lined them all up and wrapped a piece of ribbon around the center and hot glued it to the alligator clip and you have a cute curled hair BOW!!!
