Show Us What You Make!

2010-11-04T12:14:00.000-07:00

Kelly at Kelly's Korner is hosting a "Show us your life" blog hop every Friday...I usually dont have it all together (i.e. clean) to take pics, but this one I can for SURE link up on!! It's all about what YOU make. Perfect for Christmas gifts...other home crafters/moms are linking up on Kelly page to show off their goods! Click over and start shopping!!

KK's Bow-Tique is my side business (I am a Christian counselor/therapist by day) and it is helping us save $$ for IVF. We have been through 4 years of infertility which you can read about at my main blog HERE.

KK's bows are all custom made just for you or your little one. There is MUCH more than just bows. Interchangeable headbands are the HOT NEW ITEM for girls of all sizes...one headband with SO many options to clip on (felt, feathers, bows...). If you dont see something and want it...just ask!!!

Most of my bows run $7-$8 and $10 for anything fancy and poofy! A basic one ribbon/one layer bow is only $4-$5. Piggy tail sets are $8-$12 depending on the size and detail. Headbands, felts, flowers, and feathers run from $4-$18, and flip-flops are $20.

Also check out my facebook fan page at www.facebook.com/kksbowtique . There are newer pics there that customers can easily upload.

If you have a specific outfit that needs to be matched...simply email a pic to me at strinamarie@verizon.net and I will whip out a bow and get it mailed off to you ASAP. My customers have been bery pleased with the match of the custom bows...I try VERY hard to get it perfect!!

Take a look around...read our story...buy something...and let me know you were here!!
Thanks,
Krisitna (KK)

KK's Bow-tique goes to Disney!

2010-03-15T11:07:00.000-07:00

Chaney & Kinsley went to Disney World in November and took KK's bows with them!! Their mom, Holly, spent a LOT of time making them ADORABLE outfits to wear every day. So, we matched some bows with them. I bought the ribbons and everything specifically for these girls

...that's what KK's can do for you... CUSTOMIZE!!!

Princess bows:

Belle Bow:

Yellow grosgrain wrapped with yellow sequins, satin yellow polka dots, see through yellow with polka dots, Belle bottle cap. Big sister gets a bit more bling.

Sleeping Beauty Bow:

Pink grosgrain wrapped with light pink double ruffle ribbon, small loops with sequins, "Pretty as a Princess," satin pink with white polka dots, Sleeping Beauty bottle cap. Less bling, but more ruffles!

Minnie Bow:

This red ribbon with the large white polka dots was SO hard to find. But, I searched and searched until I found it on eBay. It only came in 7/8th size, so I had to use it in the middle.

But the other ribbon I found is AWESOME.

I have some other red/yellow Mickey ribbon and zebra, but this bow needed to match 2 outfits.

C's bow:

Black grosgrain 3 loops, black/white see through wire ribbon 2 loops, red/white boutique bow, wrapped with black/white polka dots.

K's bow:

Black and red grosgrain pieces (3 pieces cut into angles so it weights less and stays in her hair), black/white see through wire ribbon 1 loop, red/white boutique bow, wrapped in black/white polka dots.

Thanks girls for giving KK's the opportunity to live vicariously through you!!!!

Headbands

2010-03-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

So, I've been making the soft ribbon headbands for a while. Remember, these are the ones that have velcro on the bottom and cinch in the back...they REALLY stay put!!! You can choose any ribbon (zebra is a fave!).

BUT, with the newest headband trend, I decided to try my hand at one with feathers. Here's what I came up with. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

This one was very narrow and I couldnt find a solid brown ribbon that was thick enough to do 1 strand, so I had to wrap it. It would look better w/ 1 solid piece, but that's ok.

So, I have ordered a TON more plain white headbands to decorate!! My plan is to make them w/ 1 strip of ribbon to cover the band and then add a loop. In this loop, you can add any bow, flower, or feathers as needed! Or, I can add them for you. I have more examples to show...so those will come later!

LOVE

Headband w/ loop to add bow: $4

Headband w/ feathers, bow, flower: $8-$12

My REAL head model. She wore this all day!

Table with crochet bands, crochet beanies, zebra bow holder and

HEADBANDS for youth & adults: They have velcro on the underside to stick to your hair. These have the LOOK of a scarf, but they do not slide back!!! They have a thing in the back to cinch them to your head! They work GREAT for sports (hair in ponytail, but still hold back the wispies), dance, or just to be SUPER cute! M had one on all day (with the flower clipped on) and we sold a LOT of them!! They are only $5!!

The table in the back w/ the gift sets and flip flops

Gift sets
Girls: romper (with pants) (baby), small pacifier clip, matching bow
Boys: romper, large pacifier clip

White ones in back: Onsie, polka dot pants & hat (comes in green, blue, or pink)

Camo set: 3-6 mo Pink shorts w/ ruffle booty, camo onsie w/ custom double ruffle ribbon in pink to match shorts, camo bow w/ pink double ruffle ribbon. SO cute!!

Overflowing flip flops
(UT, A&M, Cowboys, lady bugs, bumble bees, pink zebra, pink/brown, pink/white, teal/white, green/white, softball, soccer, and SO many more!!! I LOVE these!!)

5 day old Gracie Jo in a KK's Bow!!!!!!!!!!!

She went to the Drs today and wore this bow and got SO many comments. So, when I went to see her, we HAD to put it back on for a couple of pics. Nothing like a little baby with a bow bigger than her head!!! LOVE IT!!

Corsage

2009-02-23T08:54:00.000-08:00

This bow was made for a corsage for Kenia's baby shower. She is having TWINS, a boy and a girl, so we did a lot of mixing of colors!!

The best part is that she can snip off the blue, pink, yellow things that are hanging in the back and have a great Easter bow for her little girl! Congrats Kenia...we cant wait to hold your sweet babies!!

Gladdy Creations

2009-02-17T17:02:00.000-08:00

Please also check out Leah's creative outlet, Gladdy Creations! She is SO talented. We learned how to do bows together and she sat with me while I made my first several, that I am taking apart b/c they were NOT good!

She also makes bows, but she also makes hooded towels good for toddlers, burp rags, and A-DOR-able custom outfits. I hope that I can learn to sew as good as she does (and as good as her mom!) one day!!!

We are both saving for an embrodery machine so that we can venture out into deeper craft world! We are going to be joining together to do a couple of craft fairs coming up in March and April...we will keep you posted as those get closer!!!! Stop by and send Leah some lovin'!

Piggy Tail Bows

2009-02-17T14:40:00.001-08:00

For Piggie Tail bows:

-$5 for 2 small simple bows

-$6 for 2 small bows with 2 or more ribbons

-$8 for 2 small FANCY bows with a lot of layers or curly-q

$4 Bows

2009-02-17T14:38:00.001-08:00

$4 bows are basic pinwheel or boutique bows made out of 1 ribbon (usually solid color). These can go for $8 or more in stores! They can be small or as large as you would like!

$5 Bows

2009-02-17T14:37:00.001-08:00

$5 bows are basic bows (pinwheel or boutique bows) that are made with 1 ribbon. They are a little more than the $4 bows because of the ribbon that is used. (The first 2 pics are $5 bows because they are small and they used "different ribbon")

$6 Bows

2009-02-17T14:35:00.001-08:00

$6 bows are medium to medium small bows that use a couple of different ribbons

$7 bows

2009-02-17T14:28:00.000-08:00

$7 bows are medium bows that have a "more expensive" ribbon than the $6 bows. They are similar in size and the number of different patterns used, but cost a little more because of the ribbon used.

$8 bows

2009-02-17T14:21:00.001-08:00

$8 bows are Medium/Large bows that have several ribbons involved, but not as much going on as the $10 bows!

$10 Bows

2009-02-17T14:16:00.000-08:00

The $10 bows are large and use a LOT of different kinds of ribbon. The ones above are all similar in design, but they don't have to be! Bows like this sell for $16 in speciality boutiques. Let me know what you are interested in!

Grand Opening!

2009-02-17T13:47:00.000-08:00

So, welcome to KK's BOW-tique! I recently started making hair bows and found that I love it! I have SO much fun putting combination of ribbons together and trying new things! My bows are VERY reasonably priced and just as cute as you can buy at a boutique.

I can do custom orders. If you see a ribbon that you would like me to use or know what colors you need, let me know and I can make something for you!

Payment is easy, just leave me a comment with your email address or send me an email and I can contact you via pay-pal when the time comes to pay.

I will be making tutu's soon and will get pics up when I have some made. Thanks so much for stopping by!! We are trying to raise money for IVF and every little bit helps (see my other blog for more info on that) plus this gives me a creative outlet!!
