Sounds like it's a little dry, why don't you try adding a tiny bit of shortening to make it a little more pliable. Best of luck.

after you make the loop, put something under it like a pc. of tissue or rolled paper towel or cotton balls to hold it's shape. than let it fry. at least two days. icon_smile.gif

thank you for the help so quickly, I have let my loops dry for 2 and a half days with cotton balls in them to help them hold their shape, they were not dry feeling until i started trying to assemble the bow, is there any other way to get the fondadnt to dry harder? once again thank you for the help!
