This bow was shown as a "cartoonishly huge" option on the upcoming Eumelia dress, which can be seen on my facebook: www.facebook.com/MakeItPinkEts…


I really love making ribbons out of beads!! These bows can be adjusted to be worn as a pin, necklace, hairclip, necktie, and so on!

Made as a sort of prototype for you to order in the future! This bow follows a bead path found in Japanese magazine "My Beads Style 16: Ribbon Parade" (in which the pages are read right to left), but the color scheme was my own doing. Because of the amount of colors used in rainbows, this will most likely be the most expensive color pattern for the bows.

The bow is fully 3D with each loop fully hand-beaded along with the tails. The center piece connects the whole thing to a small metal pin on the back, which is secured further along the bow's length. I was highly suspicious of putting the tails on... the instructions said to sew them on and then flip them upside down.. eek! I was reluctant but in the end it turned out stunning. I wish I was keeping this one, but it's being sent away for the holidays! After Christmas there should be photos of it being worn.

Made with size 11 glass seed beads in silver-lined red, orange, green, blue, and purple. The yellow is transparent and you can see the white Japanese One G going through it. The majority of the bow is done in a basic netting stitch while the center ribbon is done in peyote.

This could easily be done as a hairclip (3 inches) or as a pin seen here (1.5 inches). Tails are optional and add two extra hours of work.

Size: 3 3/4 inches wide, 3 1/2 inches tall, 3/4 inch center

Featured, as you know by now! ;-D  Quoting Eleanor"It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know."  "Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be "damned if you do, and damned if you don't."  "Understanding is a two-way street."  "It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it."  "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' ...You must do the thing you think you cannot do." "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -Eleanor Roosevelt https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt
To all my watchers and the featured artists, have a blessed week, and please enjoy the music video at the end! Love, Debra :heart  Debra

Wow! I did not know you could make bows as well. This looks so pretty and must have taken forever to make.

Thanks!! It's a new addition to my arsenal since I needed to create a bow for the upcoming dress. It's unfortunate that none of these patterns worked for what I was after... but I think I'll get a lot of use out of them anyway!

Thank you again!
