Disclosure: I received a Bow Genius to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
Since MacGirl was a baby, I always relied on hairbows to jazz up her outfits. She still loves hairbows, but as she's getting older, they are getting more expensive! I've always wanted to make my own to save money, and to be able to customize them, but I am not crafty at all. When I was asked to review the Bow Genius I was happy but anxious - would *I* actually be able to make bows easily and quickly!? The answer is yes! And so can you!

Bow Genius™ is the ultimate bow maker for making all bows including floral, home décor, wedding and hair bows! Bow Genius™ is like having "extra hands" to help get the job done, or in my case, hands that actually know what they are doing. It retails at $49.99 but you will save so much money in making your own bows that it will pay for itself in just a few bows!
The company that makes Bow Genius, Offray, also makes ribbons, that can be bought at Joann Fabrics or Hancock Fabrics. Joann Fabrics feature coupons every week, and they take competitor coupons as well - so you can get ribbon at a fraction of the cost. The only other supplies you will need are scissors and a hot glue gun, depending on the bow you're making.

The Bow Genius seemed complicated at first, because there were so many parts. But after diving in, and spending some time with it, it became very easy to understand. Although it came with an instructional manual, I also visited the Offray Ribbon Youtube Channel for visual tutorials. I highly recommend you do so as well, and subscribe while you're there to be in the know when they post new videos!
10-year-old MacGirl is a youtube fanatic. She loves to get crafty, and she dived right in to make hairbows for all her friends. They make great and inexpensive stocking stuffers, party favors, and team presents. She's got 10 girls in her troop, and more in her dance class, in her art club, on her bus, in the neighborhood, and general friends and family! She wants to give everyone a gift this year, but my wallet was screaming no. With the Bow Genius, we can make gifts for everyone, for pennies! You know how we will be spending our week-long Thanksgiving break - making gifts for everyone!
There are also great tutorials on how to make bows to decorate your wreaths, mantles, trees, and the presents that go under! You can choose the size, colors, and designs that suit your needs. No more scouring stores looking for home decor to match specific colors or styles - do you know how hard it can be to find a bow in your favorite NFL colors? You can make your own. You're only limited by your imagination.
