Supplies needed:
Ribbon colors of your choice (approx 24" per dowel) Ribbon size also depends on how Big you want your korkers to be. (ex. 1/4", 3/8" 5/8")
Single color of 1/8" polyester ribbon (this is used to tie the ribbons together)
*for a smaller korker bow, you will need approx 3-5 dowels of ribbon
** for a fuller korker bow, you will need 6-8 dowels of ribbon
Dowels (size depends on thickness of curl)
Hair clip
Clothes pins
Hot glue gun
OVEN

Directions:
Wrap the ribbon on your dowels and hold the ends together with clothes pins.
Preheat your oven to 275 and cook your ribbon for 23-25 minutes (you dont need to do anything to ribbon, just cook it on a cookie sheet)
Let the ribbon cool.
Un ravel the ribbon and it should be curly.
Cut the ribbon to the length you want it ( i usually do about 6-8 curls)
lay the 1/8" ribbon out on the table
arrange your curly ribbon in the order of colors you want on top of the 1/8" ribbon
Take both ends of your 1/8" ribbon and tie a knot in the middle. it should pull all the curly ribbons together. It should be cute and fluffy!!
Hot glue your ribbon onto a hair clip.. let dry and let everyone ohh and awww at your cute new bow!
