A Valentine's Day hair bow DESIGN IDEA by MommyCraftsAlot

2012-01-06T17:02:00.001-06:00

A great big THANKS to Stacy and I like Big Bows again for the interview!

I thought I would share a little design idea with you guys just in time for Valentine's Day.

I have video tutorials on the bow parts that you will need. Each one can be found on my youtube channel, mommycraftsalot.

For this bow, I used the following ribbons :

Base bow (classic boutique aka Twisted bow) 1.5" of Red with White heart ribbon. You will need about 32 inches for this 4.5" inch bow.

Pinwheels aka Spikes: I used (2) 6 inch pieces of 1.5" RED ribbon and layered on top of that is the (2) 7 inch pieces of white 7/8 inch grosgrain.

Then I took (2) 7 inch pieces of 3/8 inch white and red heart ribbon and layered each PINWHEEL aka SPIKE on top of each other.

On top of your pinwheels, you will need a surround a bow made with 3/8 inch ribbon *Red and WHITE heart print

My surround a bow measures about 5 inches wide. Need the tutorial? Find it here.

For my topper bow, I used 7/8 inch white and 7/8 inch red w/white dot to form a "Twister" bow.

Each piece of ribbon measures about 16 inches.

the center ribbon= red/white dot 3/8 inch ribbon

Need help putting it together?

Here is my stacked hairbow tutorial.

Guest Post: Linda of MommyCraftsAlot answers OUR questions

2012-01-06T16:35:00.000-06:00

It's 2012!! (Time to get some NEW things rolling over at I like Big Bows. Don't you agree?)

Something NEW we are working on is Guest Posts and Interviews with some of your favorite bow makers, crafters and hair gurus.

Our first interview is none other that Linda of MommyCraftsAlot *Youtube and My Name is Momma *Blog

I have "known" Linda for quite some time. She used to sell on ebay years ago when I was really big into the boutique clothing craze. I bought MANY bows from her : ) Speaking of ebay, I am not sure if you guys know this or not but she is the ORIGINAL founder of the very first ALL BOW GROUP on ebay, The Bowfairies. Her id was ribbonrockstar back then. She also went by PrincezzPigailz (originally).

She also used to sell hairbow instructions because I bought my very first set from her and back then there were only 3 sellers selling them. WOW! Have we come a long way.

**A few FACTS for ya : )

Now you can find Linda on youtube and yes her AWESOME hairbow tutorials too and her blogs (Of course when she is not busy taking care of 4 kids!)

---Let's get to business now----

*We asked Linda a few questions and here are her answers :

How long have you been selling/making hair bows? I started making bows almost 9 years ago. I wish I had a photo of my first bows. One word: EEEK! I will be the first to tell you, Practice and LOTS OF IT makes BETTER BOWS. LOL! I sold on ebay when boutique clothing was huge. I matched my bows to the designer's clothing and was a member of several Boutique groups including The BowFairies. (That was my baby at the time.) I did hand over leadership nearly 4 years ago when my kiddos were getting bigger and I was no longer able to participate in launches and things. I'm not even sure if the group is still around but we had some fun times back in the day!

What do you enjoy most about bow-making? I love the creativity. I like to envision something in my head and then see it come to life. I also like to help others do the same. (The reason I created MommyCraftsAlot)

Do you have a favorite bow that you have made (past or present)? Oh gosh, I don't know...It would probably be a pair of bows that I did for the Willy Wonka debut (Yeah, that was awhile back). These bows were HUGE and filled with so many different ribbon patterns and colors. I also remember they brought in a nice little price (But back then it was nothing for a pair of bows to go for $40 or even higher) Crazy, huh?

Tell us about yourself! Well, I am a 30 PLUS 3 (snicker) year old sahm to my 4 little munchkins. (You can see their photos on my blog www.mynameismomma.com) Meghan is 13, Connor is 8, Reagan is 7 and Kennedy is 4 months old. We live in the south where sweet tea reigns supreme! I homeschool 3 out of the 4 kiddos. I enjoy crafting, vlogging, photography and cheesy comedies. Oh, I also have a hubby! We have been married nearly 14 years.

How on earth do you do it? ie: 4 kids, homeschooling, crafting, blogging etc. Well, I don't sleep! ha

Favorite websites to visit *Ahem...besides I like Big Bows (hehe) Youtube, Pinterest and Twitter

Do you have a bow IDOL (Someone that inspires you?) hmm...This is a hard question since I don't buy or sell bows anymore. I do enjoy the bows I find when I visit I like Big Bows : ) There is a lot of talent in the bowmaking world, that is for sure.

Can you share some of your designs with us? Sure! Thanks for having me!!!

I want to thank Linda so much for agreeing to be interviewed. I also want to thank her so much because she has helped I like Big Bows out tremendously over the past year. I have been a blog follower of hers since she started and will watch for what comes next!

Check out the next post as Linda gives us a design idea just in time for Valentine's Day.

Keeping safety in mind while decorating with outdoor lights

2011-12-15T21:00:00.000-06:00

Guest post written by Ray Hollar

I think that so many people decorate their homes with Christmas lights without thinking twice about whether putting all those lights are safe or a fire hazard. Years ago when I first started putting up Christmas lights, I decided to make sure that I did it the safe way.

I always like to check up on some new tips every year and also make sure that I check that all of my lights are still properly working. While I was online looking up a few tips a few weeks ago, I ran across some info on HomeProImprovement. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to use them to remodel our kitchen in the spring.

I checked on all of my lights this year and had to replace a few strands. But that's pretty typical to make sure that I have safe outdoor lights. It's the least that I can do to ensure my family's safety and mine! Sure it costs me a little extra money, but I definitely believe that it's worth it.

(SIGH) I really hate posting things like this . . .

2011-09-26T12:33:00.002-05:00

BUT I feel it needs to be said and seeing as to how it's been oh....3 months since the giveaway ended...

Well, it's just shameful that I have to do this.

Remember the BIG contest that we hosted here on I like Big Bows back in June?

I had several different website owners email me and offer giveaways.

The giveaway ended and all but ONE sent their items to the winner, Angie.

So, a great big thanks to these WONDERFUL sponsors . . .

Imperfect Crafters
Magpie by Melissa

Ribbon Rock Star Hair bows

Angie was absolutely thrilled with her winnings!

However, BB's Bowtique has still NOT delivered.

Communication? Oh, it's been there but on OUR PART---meaning mine and the winner

After many MANY emails from both of us (only 2 replies from BB's BOWTIQUE---both saying she was SHIPPING) it seems as if Angie will NOT be getting her promised winnings : (

Like I said, I hate doing these types of posts but feel that this has to be put out there from anyone that is ever thinking about hosting a giveaway or purchasing from this website.

If you purchase, Will you get your items? I'm not saying that you WON'T.

I am just letting you know our experience working with this owner/shoppe.

Never again . . .

Shoppe Owners: If you sponsor a giveaway, FULFILL the agreement in the end.

Remember that we live in the age of Social Media : )
