How do you all get your MMF Bows to hold their shape until they start drying?? I have never made the bows and want to give it a try this weekend.

icon_smile.gif I put a clean rolled up facial tissue in the "loop", then remove them when it is totally dry... icon_smile.gif

I use papaer towel sometimes, I just like tissue because it is not as big, but either way it will do... whatever is available... around the house icon_smile.gif

I make the loop, pinch it together at the end and then put it on its side......does that make sense???

I hang my loops for the bow over a very large dowel rod so that all are same size. I hang the dowel rod between 2 chairs. HTH

I am glad that made sense!!! I just make sure that I always cut my loops the sam width and lengh and then they are pretty much the same "loop" size...

I've used paper towel, but once used crumpled wax paper and that worked too. The paper towel would probably allow it to dry faster.
