HELP Homemade bowmaker
 

I found a blog last week where a wood base was used with large finishing nails to make bows and now I can't find it. You could make several size bows and it was a great idea - any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about making one maybe you should consider just getting a Bow Easy. It is sure to take up less space, be easier and not have nails or screws sticking up from it!

For a small bow, check out these links. Bows are made with a fork.

Thanks, that should be easy enough! Cute little bows!

That's fabulous! The bows are adorable!

Here is one, not with nails but it might help, you will need to scroll down just a bit to see it:

I am totally laughing right now...I'm a double reed player and I have a madril holder for making reeds that totally looks like this. I'm so going to go dig it out and see if it works!

My Husband made the same, works like a train.,

I just got the Magic Bow Maker; $15, and it's as you desccribe but with wodden dowels instead of finishing nails. It's super easy to make a bow that looks great and is fun. It came from:

It's easy to learn and to use. Best wishes!!

My husband made me one by drilling some holes in a block of wood and cutting 2 pieces from a dowel rod to fit in the holes. It works great, and I can make bows from a teeny tiny size to a fairly large size.
