Thing 12 - Korker ribbon

The original plan was to make the korker bows themselves, but that’s going to be an entirely separate project. I had printed out these directions, and saw “preheat oven” and knew it was a craft for me. I had all of the supplies on hand so I gathered them up.

Attach with clothespin, wind tightly, put in oven, this rocks. This. Is. Fun.

Even cutting them into little 2 1/2″ pieces and applying anti-fray stuff to the ends wasn’t that bad. I’m almost liking them, so cute, little curly ribbons.

Then my stupid kicks in. I pick up the directions (which I had not, obviously, read fully) and saw that it takes 20-35 pieces to make one bow.

So here is what I have after spending another couple of hours on it this evening. I will cut and put the fray stuff on these before I go to bed, and hopefully tomorrow (maybe) I can make the actual bows.
