[@annturner4830]

Where do you get the template for the mermaid please ? Love the video thank u

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

😊 Thanks. This template is called the ‘Mila’ and there is another size called the ‘Lila’ bow from Eliza Henri.

[@1wildwackywoman]

Do you have a template for these pieces? Very cute❣️‼️

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

I got mine from Eliza Henri crafts. You can easily use a standard bow template tho. Just use half loop and half tail 💕

[@1wildwackywoman]

@@CraftyMummaBowTutuful thank you for such a quick reply. I hope you have a lovely day today.

[@erinhickey6249]

Thank you so much! This tutorial really helped me 😊

[@kirstyhoare-smith5836]

I love bow making! It's all I do in my spare time 🙈 I get all my bow making supplies and templates from Rainbowcraftingcreat on Etsy!! The fabrics are all so lovely and the glitters are incredible!! Xxxx

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

I get a lot of my supplies from AliExpress, it’s so much cheaper, but delivery times can take a while, especially since this pandemic. I love bow making, it’s addictive and a relaxing hobby. Plus I have a little girl to wear them, she’s 7 now, I just hope she doesn’t want to stop wearing them soon! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🎀

[@sondravaxmonsky7047]

Thank you for sharing video 👧🏼 would love to know where you get you faux and also you embellishments

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

I get most of my supplies from AliExpress. I also print some of my fabric myself. I also have a tutorial on how to do that 🙂

[@jadeleosala2337]

Beautiful! How long does it take you to get the orders from ali express? Is it safe to order there? thanks. Your videos are very inspiring.

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Thanks. Im glad my videos inspire you. 😊Yes I love AliExpress so much! It takes 2-4 weeks for delivery, so I order for seasons up front. Some places offer a faster postage option for a £ or 2 more.

[@hevenly11]

Thank you for the video loved it where did you get your sheets

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Thank you, I buy most of my fabric from AliExpress.

[@kallieox]

@@CraftyMummaBowTutuful is aliexpress a good online shop? I read reviews and most were negative. I'm scared to order

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Cally K. For craft items, I’ve found AliExpress brilliant. I do check reviews, I’ve had thin fabrics in the past, but I just back it myself with felt, but that’s rare I need to that, especially the chunky glitter. 🙂 x

[@kallieox]

@@CraftyMummaBowTutuful sorry to bug you again. I just ordered a few items earlier this morning. I just went to check again and all my orders are not posted. There is no history. No email notifications, but my address that i used to purchase is there. Is this normal?

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Cally K. No problem. I’ve never had an item not turn up from AliExpress, so I’m confident you will get your goods. I only occasionally get a message saying ‘thanks for ordering’, but I do get emails saying when the item has arrived in the country. They can take 3-6 weeks to arrive. Usually around 3-4 for myself in the uk. 🙂 xx

Where did you get the little mermaids and the star fish?

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

I get most of my embellishments from AliExpress. ☺️

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Wendy Rodriguez search for ‘starfish flatback’. And the mermaid is ‘rubber flatback mermaid’.

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

AliExpress 🙂

[@MFreviewx2]

What’s the material for make this ? The glitter paper ? What’s the name ? I can buy on amazon?

[@bhartishakya5971]

Faux leather, you can buy them from Ali express

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

The glitter fabric is available on eBay or AliExpress. Search ‘glitter fabric’, ‘glitter bow fabric’ or ‘synthetic leather fabric’.

[@giftedsprinkles9492]

You are so kind to answer all these questions. I was wondering if you are happy with your hot glue gun? I just started using one I got off eBay and I’m not happy with it. It constantly drips a lot of excess after each use, so a lot of waste and mess. Could you please let me know what brand etc you use, thanks 😊

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Hi. I’m happy to help. I have the Dremel F0130940JB hot glue gun. The one in the video blew after a year, and I’m now on my second one. I’ve had it 7 months with no issues, no dripping. I use Blackspur glue sticks in it. 😊

[@giftedsprinkles9492]

Thanks so much 😊

[@amandasalas2872]

Where did u get the material from

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

AliExpress is where I get most of my fabric, I also print some of my own. I have a tutorial on how to do that on my channel. 🙂

[@tashamclaughlin1237]

where did you get the white wrap for the clip? and what is it called

[@CraftyMummaBowTutuful]

Tasha McLaughlin it’s just 10mm wide ribbon. 🙂 cut it to 10.5cm to fit the 45mm clip.

[@carmenvillar8445]
