The thing is, after I discovered this trick late last week, I promised that I would share it on the blog early this week, thinking that by now I would have tons of new smudges and finger prints to show off.
Make sure that your frayed edge ends up landing somewhere in the middle-ish of your strip so that the frayed edge doesn’t stick out when your bow is all done.You could start with a wider strip and fold it in again so everything’s totally hidden, but that’s not really necessary because nothing will be showing once the bow is complete..
Locate the middle of your strip and fold it in half there!.Make two loops!.Make two more loops!.
Cross one tail over the other!.Now you’ll need to make yourself a second mini strip of fabric.
This one should start off about 8 inches long and again 6 or 7 inches wide.
Fold your sides in and iron them just like you did with the first longer strip.Then I put down the bead of caulking (sometimes, I put a bit too much, obviously) and smoothed it out.
If you’re looking for a really good explanation of.how to caulk a bathtub.
, by the way, my friend Ann did a great post on that a couple of weeks ago.I do it almost the exact same way.. Now that’s more what I was looking for!
