Trying to find the video you posted yesterday on making a wreath bow. It used two 1 1/2 in ribbons and one 2 1/2 in ribbon. Originally posted August 19, 2019 I think.

I purchased the ez bowmaker from you and my sticks dont stay put, can you tell.me what to do.
Hi Lorraine, You have to really get those pegs in there and the best way is to take a small hammer or rubber mallet and hit it in until it’s in there and the pegs don’t move.
