Halloween Stacked Korker Bow

Hello, Brynde again from The Ribbon Retreat. Today I will be showing you a Stacked Korker Bow perfect for Halloween!

The supplies I used are listed below. The Ribbon Retreat carries everything needed to make this fun, Stacked Bow!

Ribbon:
1 1/2” Bewitched
5/8” Offray-Royal Orchid
3/8” Lypple Korker Ribbon
3/8” Offray-Royal Orchid Korker Ribbon
3/8” Orange Swiss Dot Korker Ribbon

Other Supplies:
Needle
Thread
Hair Clip
Hi-Temp Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
Stiffen Stuff (optional)
Lighter

I made a single layer Flower Loop Bow out of 5/8” Royal Orchid Grosgrain. I measured three pieces at 7 1/4” to make an approximate 3.5” finished bow. I sealed all ribbon ends with my lighter and stacked them on top of each other.

1. Fold your ribbon stack in half and take a needle up through the center. Don’t go all the way through.
2. Spread your ribbons out in a “star”. Start bringing pieces back up on the needle to create your loops.
3. Finish looping all pieces around the “star”. Then take a couple of stitches up and down to secure.

If you need more help with this bow, you can refer back to The Ribbon Retreat’s Flower Loop Hair Bow Instructions.

Then I made a Korker Bow using The Ribbon Retreat’s premade Korker ribbon. It’s such a time saver! I cut my Korker pieces at 5 “loops”, four pieces each of Orange Swiss and Lypple. Seal all ribbon ends with a lighter. (Pictured in my supplies is Royal Orchid. I decided against using it in the final bow.)

Keeping the Korker ribbons on the needle, I slid them on in an alternating pattern. Once all the pieces are on your needle, you can take your needle all the way through and stitch up and down a couple times to secure.

If you need more help with this bow, I used method 3 in The Ribbon Retreat’s Korker Hair Bow Instructions.

I made a “no-tail” Pinwheel Bow by attaching two Bow Tie Bows side by side. I cut my two ribbon pieces at 8 1/4” for an approximate 4” finished bow. Then, I wrapped the center with 3/8” Royal Orchid ribbon. (You could also use a classic Pinwheel Bow.)

Now you should have 3 separate bows that we are going to stack together!

Glue the Flower Loop Bow on top of the Pinwheel Bow.

Then glue the Korker Bow on top of the Flower Loop Bow.

Line your desired hair clip and attach to the back of the bow. At this point, I recommend spraying your finished bow with Stiffen Stuff. I like those little Korker pieces to stay in place!

Our Stacked Korker Bow is finished! I think it’s such a fun twist for a hair bow. It’s fun to stack different types of bows into one big bow and see what you get!

This bow is perfect for Halloween! There are endless ribbon combinations to play with. Make some for all occasions!

Happy bow making!

Until next time,
