I am gonna make my first attempt at loop bows. I printed out the article from this site as to how to do them. Do I wait till tomorrow to add the color and dust or do I do that right after I have hung them on a dowel rod? I am only going to paint on the edges a bit.
Thanks!!!

I would wait until dry

The tutorial I read says after 24 hours you can paint them....

I have to make my very FIRST bow this month for a cake!

Before I got my airbrush I dusted the loops after they were dry before I put the bow together. That away I could also brush the insides since you do see them in some areas.

Now with the airbrush, I wait until I have the bow finished and spray it all at once.

If I was going to do any detail work, like painting the edges I would do it before putting the bow together.
