Today I have Krysta Ivers from Unique Bowtique. She is a bow making genius and I'm thrilled to have her answer a few questions on what she does and how she got started making bows!
Welcome, Krysta and thank you for being here.
Thank you for having me on, Kat!
Tell us about Krysta’s Unique Bowtique?
Krysta’s Unique Bowtique is your one stop
shop for cheer bows and bow accessories. I hand make my products from home and
fill team, club and individual orders! I offer a wide range of products to
choose from to fill your cheer bow needs!
How long have you been making bows?
I was inspired by a cheer teammate last
year who was playing around with making bows so I gave it a try and loved it.
It has been just over a year now that I have been making bows.
Where do you make them?
I make my bows at home in my basement.
Luckily I now have a spare bedroom that doubles as my bow room where I have all
of my equipment and materials set up. Every bow is totally handmade, so
sometimes the creative process of filling orders can leave the room looking a
little ribbon crazy.
What inspires you to create different styles?
I take a look at different styles
of bows on the internet and I try to think of how I could make them flashier
and more me. Also, when I look online to order ribbon I always try to find
something new to inspire me, a new design of ribbon or fabric can have my head
spinning with ideas! Luckily most of the people that order for me allow me to
have full creative control over the style of bow(s) I create for them, which is
fantastic and lots of fun!
How long does it take to fill an order?
It depends on the size of the order and the
complexity of the bows. For a very basic order of about 25 bows I can complete
these in one day. For larger or more elaborate bows the order can take a few
weeks to fill BUT anytime there is a timeline to be aware of I am always
willing to work hastily to meet those time requirements.
How much are the bows?
My products range in pricing depending on
what you are looking for but my large cheer bows
Do you make anything else other than bows?
The products that I create come in many
different forms such as; cheer bows, bow key chains, bow headbands for babies
and adults and I have even made a wedding veil with a cheer bow on it! I am
open to trying anything bow related!
Where can we find you?
You can find my page on Facebook

I live a life full of what I
consider to be the most fulfilling sport ever, cheerleading. I have cheered on
both high school and all-star cheer teams and I coach as well. Along with this
busy life of sports involvement I am a stay at home mother of my two year old
daughter, Emma. When Emma goes down to sleep I break out my creative side and
get to work on my cheer bows, which has become rather successful! I get to
display my artistic side through my bows and I love it!
