Supplies: Each individual bow needs different supply under each picture are the supplies needed.
Flower bow-
Flowers of course. I have bought all of my flowers at the Dollar General Store. Also flowers come with 4 to 6 flowers so you can always get a friend buy a few they buy a few and even save a little more! Also you can mix flowers together. Also when you look for the flowers I squish them down to see how they will look when I take them apart. I am not going to lie sometimes I get super excited about a flower get home and it makes a terrible bow! But luckily bought it at the dollar store so not to devastated!
Alligator Clips- You can buy these at Hobby Lobby. I just checked their ad for this week and they are on sale 50% off!! They are usually 3.99 so half off 2bucks!! They come with quite a few also. Also I will show you how you can basically only need one clip and just change it out for each bow. So you can split the bag with a friend!
Something for the middle- For the flowers bows I use Acrylic Gems. I believe these are also half off at Hobby Lobby. Sometimes you can find them at the dollar store also. For the middle you can use anything you want though buttons, bottle caps, sea shells, really whatever you want! I think the bigger gems or buttons look better personally. These are probably the most expensive part of the bow so be creative!!
Glue Gun- I will have mine but I only have one. You can usually get them at walmart for pretty cheap. But I really do not mind sharing as long has your willing to wait in line!
Glue Sticks- I have the skinny glue gun, So I use the skinny glue sticks. I find them at the dollar store and snag them when I see them! Whatever glue sticks fit your glue gun are the ones you want!
ribbon- This one is totally optional at first I used ribbon and now I don't. This is just to wrap the alligator clip. So you don't see the metal instead you see ribbon. I noticed I really don't see the clip anyways so no biggie, plus the ribbon starts to fall off and drives me crazy! But if you want it by the 1/4 inch thick ribbon. Joannes for like .50 and you need such a small amount you buy one of these you are set for good!
Scissors- Dollar store or in your junk drawer! They don't need to be craft scissors just regular old scissors will do the job!

A few more things! First if you are not able to buy the stuff right now still come and learn or just socialize! You also can just make the bow you want if you don't like a certain one you don't have to make it!
Also if you have a cute little one with no hair! Then at Hobby Lobby they have headbands you can buy then you just slip the alligator clip into them and can change it! Perfect baby shower gift!!
It will be fun!!
