I'm thinking about getting a Bow Easy from Gina K. I can tie a pretty good bow, but heck, for $5, perhaps they'd be more perfect?

I vote for the Bow Easy. I was bow challenged but I finally got one and it has helped a lot

I saw the Bow Easy last year and thought "heck, I know how to tie bows!" But I received a Bow Easy as a gift from the fabulous Sharon Johnson, and believe me you NEED this wonderful tool! It's a must! I immediately ordered them for my own store, and they flew out the door! Sharon has a great picture tutorial on her blog, and sells them in her online store.

Bow Easy is awesome! I searched high and low (in NZ some of the great craft supplies you have in the US are hard to come by, if at all) I had friends in AZ looking for me and they couldn't find it, after a last ditch effort in an online search I found that a scrap store here was getting a new shipment in and my name was first on that list. I am glad I perservered I LOVE IT!

Bow Easy works but what works WAY better for me is LOTS of practice....sometimes I may tie the bow 20 times to get it just right, but it helps me get better at it for next time ;)

I have done the videos, but I must say I love my bow easy remember that they carry them in 2 sizes.

Thank you so much Shannon for posting this. In 2006, I hadn't even discovered scrapbooking or card making! I have made the bow without the loops this way, but the loops are a great addition. I have the bow easy too and really like it.
