Rainbow striped ribbon mixed with solids and polka dots makes a vivid, adorable hair bow. While pastels and brights are great, sometimes it's good to get back to primaries. I remember in the 1980s having dark jeans with rainbows embroidered on the back pockets. How cute would this bow had been with those?
I don't remember ever seeing korker hair bows as a child. It doesn't mean they didn't exist, but the internet sure has made it handy to find more unique products. I doubt the Woolworths had too many hair bows to pick from in the 80s. Of course, most of my clothes were made from fabric samples from the remnants house. Then sewing was necessity, now it's a skill many wished they had learned. The arts and crafts movement is strong and hopefully more people will take sewing in school now.
I can make these hair bow in sets, smaller, clips, etc... I can't make it in the mini korkers. I'll be happy when I can find a place to buy printed 1/4" grosgrain ribbon!
