What is Bow Maker?
As of it's name, it makes ribbon bow - unautomatically. Bow maker merely helps us to ease the process of bow making, in many ways as you'll see below:
Hands Free Center Holder
The examples of this category are Bowdabra, Fiskar BowMaker, etc. These tools help to hold the bow center so you'll have your hands free to grasp hold of stuffs you need.
Consistence Loops Helper
These bowmakers help us to achieve consistency in bow length and size, thus relief us the necessity to mark the ribbon.
Bow Makers You Can Make
This is the greatest example that I've come across!
Designer BowMaker

Give it a go if you have power drill, 4 x 8 x 1/2 inches thick wooden block and 6 x 1/4 inches rods. The length of the rods and the distance between them determines the sizes of the finished bow.
Alternatively, here are a couple of quick easy ways that works:
~ simply drive two nails through any wooden block
~ kids toy such as tinker toy, lasy toy, etc. which have platform and sticks
~ measure the (6" x bow size) on card board, cut it out and it funtions as rods.
