E Z Bow Maker Makes Me Look Crafty! By cnt24 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

A while back I purchased this E-Z Bow Maker by Lion because I was tired of buying overpriced store bows for gifts and crafts. I'm cheap when it comes to stuff like this, sorry. The E-Z Bow Maker has made me look like a whiz at tying bows and I've impressed a lot of people with my "hidden" talent.

I'm not talking just bow tying like on your shoe here. I'm talking about tying those bows you see in stores used on various things like Christmas decorations, bouquets, and wedding decor, to name a few.

My most recent bow from the E-Z Bow Maker is pictured (the Burgundy bow). This bow is called an Imperial bow, as it looks similar to a crown. Without the bow maker I could never achieve this.

In the past I've pulled off bows such as the Tree Top, Layered, and Nested bows. However, I only have a picture of my Tree Top bow (the Gold bow). You can also create Double Ribbon, Pew, Wreath, and Floral bows.

The E-Z Bow Maker is constructed out of wood. It has one-inch increments measured on the base and comes with an instruction manual for creative ease.

With the bow maker, some ribbon, and a little floral wire you too can create bows like nobody's business

I just purchased one of these devices at a second hand store. It was complete but missing directions/documentation. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find instructions online, would you? I hate to ask, but I've been searching with no luck at all. Thanks. :)

Each bow uses ribbon and floral wire. You lay a length of wire between the pegs and fold ribbon over that. Then you use the wire to secure the ribbon by twisting it. Varying your loop lengths gives you different style bows. I'll look for mine and post it somewhere for you.

Very nice. I should get this, as I love bows but hate trying to make them.
