Bowdabra® ribbon for hair bows: Prints and colors for every style

Bowdabra® carries a wide selection of morex ribbon for hair bows, from solid grosgrain to playful prints, in widths built for small, boutique-style loops. Whether you’re stocking up for a weekend of crafting or restocking supplies for a hair bow business, this collection makes picking colors and patterns simple. Pair any spool with our Mini Bow Maker tool, and you have everything you need to go from ribbon to finished bow in minutes.

Bowdabra® hair-bow ribbons are available in a variety of materials, widths, colors, and patterns, so you can select options based on the design and look you want to create.

Why crafters choose our ribbon for hair bows

Not every ribbon holds its shape once it’s looped and tied. We choose our hair bow making ribbon for a weave and finish that keeps loops crisp, in widths that scale from statement pieces to everyday accessories, and each roll pairs naturally with the Mini Bowdabra® tool for consistent results, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro.

Individual ribbon products may vary in material, width, finish, and other specifications, so check the product listing for details when selecting ribbon for a particular project.

Built for beginners and professionals alike

The Mini Bow Maker works for beginners and pros alike. First-timers get clean, even loops right away, no steady hands or experience needed, thanks to clear instructions and a video walkthrough. For small business owners, the same tool delivers speed and consistency at scale, so every bow looks the same when you’re filling orders.

It’s the same tool thousands of crafters trust, whether they’re making their first hair bow or their thousandth. Many start out with a single Mini Bow Maker and grow into a hair bow business, using the exact same tool the whole way through.

The Hair Bow Tool and Ruler Kit is another Bowdabra® option for hair-bow projects where consistent loop sizing is important.

Ribbon for hair bows: widths and finishes

We offer ribbon for hair bows in a few standard finishes, so you can match the look to the bow you’re making.

Grosgrain and dot ribbons

Grosgrain ribbon is a longtime favorite for hair bows because of its ribbed texture, which helps loops hold their shape without extra stiffening. Dot and print patterns in this same finish add personality while keeping the same reliable structure.

Bowdabra® offers grosgrain ribbon in several widths for hair bows, including 7/8-inch for smaller, more understated bows, as well as 1-1/2-inch and 2-1/2-inch options for larger styles.

Solid and seasonal prints

For matching sets or themed bows, our solid colors and seasonal prints make it easy to build a coordinated collection, whether that’s for everyday wear, a holiday, or a special occasion.

Ribbon for every US holiday and occasion

Hair bows are a year-round staple, and our ribbon collection is built to match. Some of the occasions our customers shop for the most include:

  • Christmas and holiday prints for festive hair bows all season long
  • Valentine’s Day ribbon in reds, pinks, and hearts for a sweet, coordinated look
  • Easter pastels and spring prints for baskets, outfits, and photos
  • 4th of July and patriotic ribbon in red, white, and blue for summer celebrations
  • Fall and Thanksgiving tones for autumn-themed hair bows and family gatherings

Because the same Mini Bow Maker works with every ribbon in our collection, one tool can carry you through every occasion on the calendar, not just one season.

Hair bow making supplies in one place

Beyond ribbon, this category also includes the tools that turn a spool of ribbon into a finished bow. Our hair bow making supplies here include:

Ribbon and tool specifications can vary by product, so check the individual listing when you need to confirm compatibility, dimensions, or included supplies.

Buying ribbon and tools together means one order gets you set up to start making bows the same day they arrive.

One ribbon spool, endless bows

A single roll of ribbon can go further than most crafters expect. Use yours to create:

  • Everyday hair bows in solid colors
  • Matching sets for siblings or twins
  • Holiday and seasonal hair accessories, from Christmas to Easter
  • Bows for a hair bow business or craft fair booth
  • Coordinating hair bows for birthdays and special events

Because our ribbon works with the Mini Bow Maker tool, one spool and one tool can cover a season’s worth of projects, at a fraction of what pre-made bows would cost.

The amount of ribbon needed for a hair bow can vary depending on the bow design, ribbon width, and desired bow size. Check the specific project instructions when determining how much ribbon to use.

FAQs

1. What width or type of ribbon is best for making hair bows?

7/8-inch grosgrain ribbon works well for smaller, more understated hair bows, while 1-1/2-inch and 2-1/2-inch grosgrain ribbon can be used for larger hair bow styles. Grosgrain’s ribbed texture helps loops hold their shape and makes it a versatile choice for different bow sizes.

2. Can I use any Bowdabra® ribbon for hair bows, or do I need a specific type?

Most Bowdabra® ribbons work for hair bows, though grosgrain and Wired Satin are the most popular choices because their finish holds loops in place without extra stiffening. Softer or sheer ribbons can also be used, but they may need a firmer hand or a touch of wire to keep loops crisp.

3. How much ribbon do I need for one hair bow, and how is Bowdabra® ribbon sold?

You’ll need roughly half a yard of ribbon for hair bows per bow. Bowdabra® sells ribbon in fixed-length spools, from 3 to 50 yards depending on the design, rather than by the yard, so one spool covers several bows.

Bowdabra® offers hair-bow ribbon in different spool lengths depending on the product, so check each individual product listing for the available yardage or length.

4. Does Bowdabra® sell wired ribbon for hair bows, and does it work the same as regular ribbon?

Yes. Wired Satin Ribbon appears in our ribbon for hair bows collection. It works similarly to unwired ribbon but holds its shape better, since the thin wire along the edges lets loops stay crisp and structured instead of flopping, which is useful for bigger or more sculpted hair bows.

5. Does Bowdabra®’s ribbon work with the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler Kit?

Yes. Our hair bow making ribbon is designed to work with the Hair Bow Tool and Ruler Kit, sold right on this same page, so you can pick a ribbon and the tool together and start making bows right away.

For compatibility with a particular ribbon or tool, check the individual product and tool information before purchasing.

6. What is Bowdabra®’s return policy on ribbon if I order the wrong color or width for my hair bow project?

Bowdabra®’s return policy runs for 15 days from delivery. The ribbon for hair bows must be unused, in its original packaging, and you’ll need a return authorization from connect@bowdabra.com before sending it back. Shipping costs aren’t refundable unless the item arrived damaged.

The 15-day period is part of Bowdabra®’s general return policy; applicable conditions and exceptions should be checked against the current policy before returning an item.
