Thank you so very much for sharing your secrets on the most Beautiful Bows EVER!😁❣ My daughter is a Cheer Coach and she's always been in either Drill or a cheerleader and Mom, Lol aka ME has always made the team bows but never have I made one so Gorgeous. Thanks again and God bless
A kindred spirit! I’m so glad it was helpful🥰
Hi Lisa, I just want to say THANK YOU, for helping moms like me, how to make cheer bows
Karen Barney You are very welcome, I love to help hardworking moms!
Lisa! My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and I recently stumbled across your videos because we LOVE cheer bows! I am a stay at home mom with a 19 mth old toddler and was thinking of doing something to make some cash and kill some time. Well I decided to make cheer bows! We are both super excited and I would love any more information you can share. Thank you so much your videos truly inspired me to embark on this adventure!! P.S. I am from Lillington, North Carolina
Thank you! This is a fantastic tutorial. I especially appreciate you taking the time to show how to get the folds just right.
A quick tip--if you are getting glue strands from the hot glue, blow the bow quickly with a hair dryer. It will cause those strands to shrink right up and disappear. When I was a florist, we did this all the time when we glued in elements to a fresh/silk design or planting.
Hi just want to thank you solo much, I have been selling cheer bows but never new all the secrets! Thank you so much for all the secrets I have never been able to figure out, I am so appreciative of your video, I have never seen such a great video!! Thank you
Lauren Erickson You are very welcome!
you are amazing thank you so much for your kind heart and giving out your wonderful. Everyone else is so secretive about sharing the secret to professional cheer bows. God bless you and your children.
Thank you Taianna, I remember when I first started and how hard it was to get useful information, so I hope to make the process easier for all of you!
Just remember to pay it forward so someone else can benefit also.
Warm regards, Lisa.
Wow! I had no idea there were specific measurements on cheer bows. Wonderful tutorial!
I have cheered! Almost my whole life but never knew how to make the bows great video💞💟
This is the best cheer bow tutorial. I have been wanting to make nows for my daughters for a long time. Now after watching you I feel confident that I can do it and they will turn out great. Thanks! 😄
jill ursini Thanks Jill, of course you can do it, good luck!
Thank you for taking the time to slowly and thoroughly explain your thought process! Also, thank you for the free template! Too kind of you! I really enjoyed your "dog's dinner" line. I had to pause the video and laugh.
You are so very welcome! I can’t tell you how many of these I’ve made!😂 I’m glad you had a laugh too! 🥰
I've been making some bows for my daughter and just "figuring" it out as I go. Your technique is way easier then what I've been doing lol THANK YOU FOR THE TEMPLATE AND VIDEO!
Excellent tutorial. you had a few tricks that the others didn't show. It turned out great
Thank you for sharing this video most people that make cheer bows don't wanna share how they do them but you did thank you so much for that I am going to try to make one of them and even start my business
Thank you so much I'm an allstar cheerleader and I wanted to know how to make a cheer bow for a while and this helped A LOT
Happy to help!
Thanks for doing this tutorial! I've been looking forward to it :) I recognise this incredible backpack from nationals!
Look out for it again this year! Good luck at this years comps!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO, AND TEMPLATE. IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN TO MAKE SOME IN THE PAST.
So excited to try making one for Christmas for my cheer obsessed friend :P
I'm from Australia, and I went to Spotlight today to try to buy all the materials but I couldn't find 75mm ribbon only 66mm... anyone know where i can find some?
LemonBarchie Hi, We purchase all our grograin ribbon on line from ebay sellers, there is an Aussie store called Sarah Lauren who keeps some stock of the 75mm grosgrain in limited colours.
Hmm ok, might have to order something, I tried with the 66mm ribbon and made a mini bow, which I think I will give to my little cousin who also cheers, might suit her size better than the normal size bows anyway :)
Oh, my goodness bows and critters! Love it!
Hahaha! I’m happy you like them 🥰
Great tutorial thank you! Your explanations are really easy to understand so don't feel the need to explain everything multiple different ways, you make everything super easy to understand the first time! Thank you so much! Really great looking bows, Which you can tell are super high quality. I'll make sure to check your bows out if I ever need any!
Hi Kelly! thank you so much for sharing this video!
Real good information on cheer bows. I’m going to make one using this video. Thanks 👍🏼👏🏼💕
Hi, I just want to say you're AWESOME! I cant wait to use your bow template, I already use about the same pinching technique, but without the alligator clip(which now I also can't wait to use!lol) I also wanted to give you an easy idea, instead of using the twist ties, try using zip ties, they are so much easier. You can start by just tightening it a little so you can "fluff" the bow to your liking and then pull it all the way tight when it's positioned to your liking. Thanks again for all you do!
Keri Stanton Hi Keri, Thanks for the great feedback, I have used zip ties before also, you're right the fine ones work really well, my old hands just seem to prefer the twist ties!
I have been making bows forever and I'm defiantly going to try your center wrap method. Thank you for sharing.
***** Happy to help!
Thank You so much! I'm looking forward on adding text and etc.!
This was perfect! Thank you so much! I've been trying to make my own bows but they didn't look very good! This helped me soo much!
You are very welcome Lexi, Good luck with your next ones!
Hello Lisa, thank you for this very detailed tutorial. it is the most helpful i have seen so far. i am just getting into making cheer bows. watching your videos makes me feel more confident about creating them. now i just have to find my suppliers. 3" wide ribbons are quite hard to find in europe when you don't know where to look. greetings from Switzerland, you rock!
afriyieunique Thank you , I am very pleased to hear that I rock!!
Enjoyed the tutorial so much. I've been bonding the heat & bond to the spandex and cutting them to the length and width needed, but I will try your method of attaching it to the grosgrain ribbon instead.
Cby Bailey Hi , happy to be a help, this way just ends up a little quicker!
It's so unusual to see people sharing their secrets like this! hahaha Thank you so much! I'm fundraising because my friends mum wont be able to make it to battles in august and I'm making bows to fundraise! Thank you so much this is so helpful!!
***** I am on your side! I am the authentic Aussie battler, as far as giving secrets away that is what PayItForward is all about we achieve nothing by keeping good things to ourselves. Thankyou for your feedback and now your job is to pay it forward!
this video was great and really helped me! you should make a video on how to cut the heat n bond to exactly 3 inches wide and how to heat press it!
Awesome job. Loved the folding tips. I like the way the tails lay with your folding tips. Very helpful and will save me $$$ by making our own bows versus buying at Competitions.
cheerswimsoccermom Thankyou for the feedback! saving moms some money is exactly what I was hoping for, good luck!
cheerswimsoccermom Absolutely! Glad to help any family save some $$$!
Thank you so much, this has been long awaited! I’ve been stalking the Facebook page lol
totally nailed it thanks to you !! ty sooo much!!!
Such a great tutorial!!!! 🎉
Glad you think so!🥰
I lOVE your video! Do you have template/tutorial for making these using 2.25' (58mm) wide ribbon. I would like to make a smaller version that looks just like these. Thanks so much!
I don't have this template available for download (I have it in my files) Just resize my template. Width goes from 75mm to 58mm from memory.
Wonderful Video! Thank you for sharing your secrets and template.
you could apply clear nail polish at the ends of satin ribbon to prevent fraying.
+erica huang You can, we used to when we first started but it's not a very good result and it is slower.
Very good hairbow!!!
Not as easy as it looks but easy to follow instructions are extremely helpful for this beginner. THank you!
Hi Bev - no it t is not easy! But once you have made a few hundred it will feel easy.
+PayItForward what kind of material did u say
This was great, thank you...can't wait to see the next one ;)
You're the best person I know at making cheer bows. They look so cool I wish I knew how to make one.I am Maia
Sorry I spelled it wrong it's Maya
Starting a cheer bow tomorrow thanks to your tutorial! Thanks for all the great information. How hot does your pressing iron get?
Thank you so much for your videos! I appreciate them.
Hello, first off love videos.
I tried it but having few issues.i didn't realize ribbon was 2" instead of 3" but I see now..will keep trying
I used 75mm in the video which is 3" if using 58mm ribbon you will need to adjust the template accordingly.
So enjoy your tutorials!!!
Wow. Your daughter must LOVE cheer! Just like me! This is probably the best tutorial I've seen!@PayItForward
That was an awesome video. I think I can make those bows! Thank you very much.
Judy Blaise I'm sure you can too! Good luck!
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been looking for one for so long & I'm so very excited I found you! You explain it so well & it's very easy to follow. I still need a lot of practice with the folding :/ I keep getting 4 folds instead of 3??
Claudia Acevedo Hi Claudia, Practice really does make perfect here, remember the first fold is backwards then forward to create the first bump, then make the bottom bump, thats 2, then folding the top over makes 3! Watch the video fold part again, I'm sure you'll get it, good luck!
Hi Lisa! I'd like to start off by saying thank you so much for this video! It's really rare to find people like you who are willing to share such profitable secrets! This is the most helpful video I have found on the Internet and I'm now subscribed to your page as well as your Pinterest account! I have purchased my digital plotter and done a lot of research on cheer bows and criteria, however, I'm wondering if it needs to be a certain type of Lycra? I've found several sites selling spandex and seeing as how I live in New York...it's not difficult to find warehouses that sell this material but some of them show up as cotton lycra, rayon lycra, stretch vinyl, printed/novelty spandex, etc. Does it have to be a specific kind ?
Thank you in advance!!!
+Tracy Cornejo Hi Tracy - Thank you for your kind feedback! I am always excited to hear you can benefit from my shared knowledge. The best Lycra or spandex to use is simply a four way stretch. That can be nylon or rayon. The four way stretch means it folds beautifully! Dance Lycra is usually four way stretch, as is swimwear Lycra. Spandex is just a brand name for Lycra. Cotton Lycra is commonly used for gym wear and is dull and should be avoided, cheer bows should be pretty!
I hope this helps, thank you so much for your feedback.
Kindest regards
Lisa
Thank you so much! Can you make me and my friends some bows?!
Can you please make a video on how you add the graphics/lettering to your cheerbows? I have looked EVERYWHERE and I can find nothing. It would mean so much. Thanks
coming soon!
omg you have so much bows!! :) so lucky
Alice Nguyen So can you if you make them yourself!
What are measurement adjustments if I need to make 2” wide bows? This is an amazing tutorial! I will be making my Highschool cheer teams bows!
The ad was kian's movie trailer!😍 kian is bae
Also, when printing this template, what should it be scaled to? My print out does not look the same as the template you are using in this video…or can you provide the measurement of the end of the tail to the meeting point of the template…it looks like it’s about 6 inch tails. Thank you!
Hi, Glad you found this tutorial useful, the measurement from the end of the tail to the meeting point is 4 inches on my print out, I hope this helps! All my suppliers are here in Australia and are local to us so I'm not sure if these will be of any use to you, are you in the USA?
Kind regards, Lisa.
Love your videos, but I'm having a hard time getting the template.. Is there another link.. Can't wait to try this method.. Thanks again
Hi just checked the link and it seems to be working now, I wonder if the server was having an issue - maybe if you copy and paste the link in here it is again

great tutorial thank you for sharing the aussie way
I love all your tutorials! You are a perfectionist like me, Lol!
Can you make a tutorial on the heat press process
I love bows
Thank you so much!!! Its very much appreciated :)
Good for you for taking the time to share this info. Those of us that had to figure it out through trial n error wouldve loved this!!!
I have one question I'm curious about. Why do u use those twisted ties opposed to zip ties? I've used both n have found that the zip ties make the bows last 10 times longer than the twist ties as long as the pony o is put in the zip tie n a lil pie of the 10m ribbon on the pony o where it touches the zip tie. If ya haven't yet, give it a try! Let me know if it works better for ya and again, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊
Hello thanks for the tutorial God bless you am thawing to get the template but this is coming up You need access
Hi Lisa! Thank you for the great video! This is something I've been wanting to try but wasn't sure I could do it. But with your step by step guidance I think I'll be good! Can you tell me the name and the measurements of the Heat Bond roll you purchase. I haven't been able to find a "roll" anywhere just smaller pieces at my local craft store. Thank you for your help!!!!
Thanks Lisa!
Thank you for the great tutorial! I haven't made one yet but getting ready to try! My daughter is a dancer so this will be helpful for her bows too! Do you happen to know what model the burnzomatic is? I like the stand it comes with. Also were you able to load the smaller template? Do you HAVE to use Lycra and Grograin ribbon or would other materials work? Thanks! Love hugs and prayers
Carol
Please do the putting words on bows soon☺️
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I can't wait to try! I was wondering, do you have bows available for puts chase?(:
I own a bow company (C-Cheer Bows) in Mexico since 2012, and I LOVED the tutorial, your way of making bows is very similar to ours. I just can't find Heat'n'bond in my country, so I use a textile glue :/
Aaron Cuadros Hi, great idea, do what works best for you hey!
Hi Lisa. Thank you for the awesome tutorial! My daughter's team recently hosted a comp. Using your instructions I made bows for them to wear. They came out beautifully. Like they were made by a professional NOT a mom. I even surprised myself how nice they came out. I made extra to sell and they were gone before lunch. And It's all because of your tutorial. My questions is this... Can the template be used for all sized (length and width) ribbon? I have to make a bow that's less wide 2.5" but the tails are longer. Not exactly sure of the length yet. Will the template work for them as well? Thank you for sharing all your wonderful secrets. :)
neener130 Hi thankyou, so glad to have helped a fellow cheer mom! I have the perfect template for a 2 1/2 inch bow, I going to see if I can upload it for all of you to use, give me a couple of days and I will get it organised for you.
That would be wonderful!! Thank you so much Lisa!!
This is a awesome video thank you
Thank you!!
I cant find your iron board thing anywhere is there another option like regular irons but still great tutorial and now my bows will all be on fleek
+Naafua neal Hi, this bow can be made using a regular iron. Good Luck!
I think I'm missing the link to the folding template. Where can I find that? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your video. Very detailed!
Hi Josh, thanks for the positive feedback, it is in the description link but here it is for you - freepdfhosting.com/5843a6e764.pdf make sure your printer doesn't try to resize so print "as in document"
Great video! I am in Nebraska. Where do I find the template? Again, thank you!
+iluvabcd freepdfhosting.com/5843a6e764.pdf
Kelly, what's the name of the tool that you use to burn the edges of the cheer Bows? thanks in advance!
Hi :) when will the video be out? I'm really excited.
Hi, thank you so much, can you put the link below to how to add text? Thanks!
Best best best
Lisa I love your bows! They are beautiful and beautifully made. I had a question about your Bernzomatic......what kind is it....is it a torch or heat gun? Model number??? If you don't mind me asking ?? Thank you for sharing your awesome talent. Thank you and God bless!
+Anna Medellin It is a torch and a heat gun, I put the attachment on it that makes it a heat gun for the bows. I think it is the micro torch that we have. (cheapest one) I think we paid $30 from the hardware store.
Where can I buy all the supplies you used? My craft store doesn't have a lot of the stuff. Do you have a website you might recommend ? Thank you!
Thank you for your tutorials, they are so helpful. I wanted to ask how you keep your cheer bows stiff?
Kelly McDonald Hi Kelly, adding the lycra using this method gives you a perfect firm but flexible bow, that is why we use Lycra.
love your tutorial... only wish I had found this before I finished 35 of the 45 cheer bows I am working on! lol I am curious though.. any reason why you don't use zip ties to hold the ponytail holders in? I have been so paranid about mine coming out, i thought the zip ties would be best, but then i hated using the fabric/ribbon in the centers for the same reason you said you don't wrap your bows.
Jenn Walker You can use fine zip ties, I just prefer less bulk at the back of the bow, its a personal choice.
Alexis Kelly You don't say where you are from? Let me know and I will see if I can help, Amazon is pretty good if you are in the USA I get mine from Sullivans here in OZ (fusible web) but you need an ABN to buy from them, hope this helps
+PayItForward Hello for a 30 inches (76 cm) piece of ribbon what would be the measurements of the 3 colors of strip to make a 3 colored bow? I am trying to make a red white and blue bow with the white being one of the loops and tail and the red and blue the other loop and tail. thank you for your help!! hope to hear from you soon!
Sorry haven't been on you-tube for ages. Not exactly sure what you you are after but you will just have to do the math same as would have to.
Thank you! Awesome
Do you have a wave pattern template you could share our do a tutorial on? Love your videos.
Is that some kind of fabric that you use on the bows I like that shiny looking style please help
Is it possible to make these bows for a 2 year old? What size would you recommend and do you have a template for it? Awesome video.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Before I found this I was struggling horribly to get a bow perfect. I do have a question though about your hair ties. I haven't been able to find the same ones you use in terms of thickness and flatness. I can only seem to find the small rounded ones which snap quite easily. Would you mind telling me where you get yours from? I also located my wood burning tool from riot art and craft and it comes with 8 different heads lol just in case you need more than one ;)
Hanny Korie Hi, glad to have helped! The hair ties we use are from our local Coles supermarket( Australia) it can be difficult finding the flat style, the best alternative are the rounded thicker style in the larger size.
Hello! Great video! Any hints on what to do if you have areas where heat and bond does not adhere?? THanks!!
Number 1 is Repress, number 2 is some brands of heat and bond are better than others, sometimes the gluey web comes adrift this usually doesn't affect the finished bow unless it as at the tail end. Tip if you have a sheet of heat and bond that has separated repressing it to itself will adhere the glue web back to its backing paper. Hope this helps.
Do you always use lycra on the bow? I have seen so many jutst made with ribbon what the need for the material?
Instead of he bonding material could you use some type of glue such as fabric glue?
Sarah Mitchell Yes you can and some do but the result isn't as good.
Hi Lisa, thanks for your video's they are very helpful and also thank you for your replies,I was just wondering how you get the backgrounds in the photos of your bows so white and where in China do you buy your grosgrain in bulk? and also how do you cut your heat and bond so perfect to the size of your bows?
Thanks so much and I can't wait for your next video.
Lisa do you sell bows i purchase some bows for my daughter but the 3 bows i bought fell apart after 2 or 3 wears i see your videos and like how professional you are pls let me know
Ms. Linda, please advise your favorite websites to get supplies/fabric from. Thank you!
What is the length you cut the ribbon for us Americans that don't use metric? It is about 30inches?
excellent
So Happy I found your channel. Thank you so much for all the tips. I was wondering for the tiny cheer teams. Meaning 5-6 year olds that cheer, are their bows the same size as your bow template or are their bows smaller?
luckyinlove888 With our club we tend to think bigger is better and little kids love the very big bows, however if you feel this size is really swamping them a lot of clubs ask for the 2.5 inch (63mm) width ribbon for their little cheerleaders. Another option is to still make the 3 inch bow using my template and cut the tails shorter so they don't sit over their forehead. Hope this helps - Lisa
have you ever made them with bows smaller than 3 inches wide?/75 cm
