OMG!!!! That jig is game changer on the "ribbon candy" chain. I made one for my daughter's senior mum in 2019, What a crazy pain in the you know what. Now I just make a few braids for friends that still have kids in high school. You are a hoot!!! Wish I found you 10 years ago when I started making mums for my kids.
Thank you for this video!! I’ve been wanting to make a candy cane braid and finally did today…. I had my husband make me a DT jig after watching your video! It worked perfect!
@@thesoutherncottage Not yet...I just made a small candy cane ribbon..only cause there wasn't that much on the one spool! I fumbled to get started but then I just followed with you on the video!! I LOVE IT!!! 😆
I just found your channel today. I’m so excited!! I’m making my daughters senior mum. This will be my fifth mum I’ll be making( I only make them for my daughter). She wants this mum big bc it’s her last one. She’s never asked for that with the other mums. 😳 I was looking for new ideas and found you.😁
I had to rewatch again.. because I didn't pay attention to how to use it 🤦♀️🤦♀️.. I got it now. I have also shared link to this video in a couple FB mum groups I'm in.. hopefully it will help increase your subscriber's
You wouldn’t believe this but my daughter got a jojo hair bow maker that’s like pink plastic years ago that she never used. Well two of the rod holes were 3 inches apart, yah, but the rod things were like idk 6 inches and how the heck do you cut plastic in a pinch… you grab your Dremel!! It worked 🤩 I’ve just made my first candy braid following along listening and watching your video!! I’ve honestly only watched a couple of your videos and you’re just so likable... I feel like we’re good friends. Anyhow, thanks so much friend!! 😊
I wish I could take credit but I saw it on Rhonda’s creative corner. I just made them and was amazed that it worked. LOL I’m so happy I’m able to make this braid now. You made it look so easy when you made it without the template! I’m still trying to figure out if I’m going to make and sell them.!
@@thesoutherncottage I saw that too and wondered if I could make something but thats as far as I saw it through lol. if I had tried mine probably would've been a hot mess! no it wasn't easy at all. trying to stay straight and in between those taped lines. this will be too much easier! Genius!!!! I bet you could sell them
The blinged up bubble gum braid you made it looked bigger on my chrome book. Did you make it out of 1.5 ribbon or is it still 7/8. love that bling and the beautiful found piece you put in the center. I think you are the first one i seen pot bling down the center. Most are just on each piece. Your braid is beautiful.
@@thesoutherncottage it might of just looked bigger on the Chromebook. I can't remember you making one that big. It sure is pretty. That was supposed to say beautiful round piece not found i hate spell check. That doesn't even make sense 😂 Hope your knee is feeling better.
Hi Connie, On the jig that you made is that a 3/8 dowel? I went to our dollar tree a infact I made a big list of everything you had mentioned to get and the only thing I was able to get is the cutting board scissors and a few rolls of bling. Evidently we have the smallest store. They didn't have anything. So my husband said he would make me one. I SS your jig and he is thinking your Dowels are 3/8 he mentioned to get bigger dowels. Would that make the candy cane braid different? Can you please give me the measurements. I'd really appreciate. Have a blessed day.
Yes ma’am. I used a 3/8 inch drillbit. You can go a little larger if you need to. It’s not gonna make any difference. Also keep in mind that the dollar stores I went to were over multiple days in multiple stores. I couldn’t find all that at one place if I tried
@@thesoutherncottage Thank you so very much for taking the time to measure for me. I'll see what I can find. I keep that list in my purse and every time I have to go out of town I'll look for a dollar tree store or any dollar store hopefully I'll get everything on my list by next Mum season lol. I do want to catch those sales at Hobby Lobby and Michael's. Thanks again Connie.
Thank you so much. I don’t have time to make them to sell but I found one on Amazon that works just as well. I did a video on it. Here’s the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XxTCsWCDlP4.html
Yes I’ve seen that video. It’s not really any cheaper because mine cost about $1.75 to make. The pro bow is a very expensive bow maker. I own one. The largest one they make, and it cost a pretty penny. I wanted to show them how they can make one themselves without owning any bow makers. I’ve also made two more videos since this one showing a couple of different bow makers that I used
I don’t have a tax id number, where would you suggest I get ribbon from? I’m in Texas and our school colors are Royal and gold. I also am gonna have a senior so gonna need lots of gold and white. Thank you so much! This video is amazing!
Thank you so much. I really really appreciate it. allamericanballoons.net. I just got this information from Hyla at crafty bug!! There’s a link to her channel on the video you’re watching now
Good morning. I actually did another video where I bought a bow maker off of Amazon, and it worked amazingly well. Let me see if I can find the link for it.
I ran out of time to actually make them and sell so I found one online that works great. Here’s the link to that video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XxTCsWCDlP4.html
I honestly have no idea. I grabbed a dowel that I had in my stash. It needs to be a little bit thick but it does not have to be huge. I think anyone that you find would work
