We've been making handmade holiday and troop support bows as well as giant car bows since the late 1980's.  From our large car bows to the smaller 12" bows used for gifts and outdoor decorations - all are full, beautiful bows.  The handmade bows from CarBows.com are NOT floppy, they are not sloppy and they surely are more affordable bows than most offered!  We do not use staples or metal of any kind. Nor do we use glue, tape, or wood.   The ribbon and bows offered at CarBows.com are USA Made.

All our handmade bows are made on site daily.  They are not stored and shuffled around.  We use new,  premium, quality weatherproof ribbon.  The colors will not run and we feel safe in saying the color will last for approx. 3 months in extreme Summer sun.  The one exception is the Hot Pink.  This color will last approx. a week and then fading will be noticable.

RIBBON:  USA MADE - We use 100% waterproof / weatherproof ribbon for our giant bows. All ribbon is 2.75" wide with the exception of a few colors available in 4" wide ribbon.
Four inch ribbon choices are:
RED, HUNTER GREEN, EMERALD, LIME, BLACK, WHITE, DEEP GOLD, LIGHT GOLD, SILVER, ROYAL, HOT PINK, DEEP PINK AND RACING CHECK PRINT. 

SIZE:  We state our car bows are approx. 24" - this is across the back of the bow. When considering the diameter and the height in the center of the bow - you have a very impressive gift presentation. 
Each bow is handmade - they are not machine manufactured.  This is why we state "approximate" sizing.
Each bow is complete with no assembly required and will arrive with 2 wide tails and curly streamers to match (you can also choose to have 4 straight tails).  The straight streamers measure approx. 4 ft. long and we do NOT skimp on the frills! It's ready for you to remove from the box, you need only attach to the car or gift.  Instructions are included in an email that will be sent to you when processing your order.  Please watch for the emails from us ~ this eliminates many worries for all involved.

OUR CLIENTELLE - We cater to individuals, car dealerships, realtors, stores & send yellow bows to military bases World wide.  The most popular use for our large car bow is, well, to top gift cars ;). We send car bows daily to individuals buying cars as gifts or car dealerships offering their customers bows or decorating their lots for the holidays or promotions - these are by far the most popular uses for the large car bows.  But the car bows have also been used to decorate kiosks at Christmas, boats in marinas, by realtors and home builders, on RV lots and are being used to decorate parade floats all over the US. 
Just to throw out a few names - our bows showcased grand openings for "The Geek Squad", the dedication of Nickelodeon playgrounds and homes in New Orleans, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Our bows also have been used on the set of Regis & Kelly, TV show "Slings and Arrows", in Bass Pro Shops and Leather stores throughout the USA.  We've supplied bows for store chains across Canada and Ireland. 

We've literally decorated entire towns with yellow and/or red white and blue bows for special homecomings for troops. 
We've decorated court houses and towns with holiday bows too.   The possibilities are endless.  If you need ONE 12" bow for your light post or 200 for a fundraiser (special pricing available) just call us today!  Any size, any amount. No order is too big or small !
