They are super easy to make and rather inexpensive. I purchased 1/4” grosgrain ribbon and 3/16” dowel rod. I wet the ribbon and tightly wrapped it around the dowel rod using a wooden clothespin on the ends to hold the ribbon in palce.I baked it at 250 degrees for 20 minutes. After it cooled I pulled it off the dowel rod and cut it into little korkers.
At this point take a lighter to each end to singe it so it won’t unravel.
I took about 8 of the cut korkers (mix and match colors or use all the same) and stacked them together and tied some thread around the middle of them.
Then I hot glued some ribbon to an alligator clip (this step isn’t necessary - I just like the finished look).
Hot glue the korker bow in the middle of the ribbon wrapped alligator clip…
Cut a small scrap of ribbon to wrap around the middle…
Hot glue in place wrapping the ribbon under the top of the alligator clip…
Then clip them in your little girl’s hair. Adorable on little piggies!
Wow Julie! Awesome tutorial- I will definitely have to try this one for our future little piggy (: Great pictures and simple explanation.
