No they don't last long and the solution is tape... Maybe it's a conspiracy!

I think it is a Scotch Company conspiracy. Full blown. More tape sales. Possibly more bows as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

My Suggestion for you is to get a glue stick and put that on them and then re-attach to the packages...I have done this before and it does help them to stay on! ~Heavens~

I've always had that problem. It is simple to fix though; just get some clear tape and tape the bow on from the bottom, by making a little round piece. It works wonders. Hope this helps.

Don't buy the cheap bows then I say. When I buy the cheap ones (most times) I have that problem as well. I always stick tape on each edge of the stickum to make sure they hold. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi eaforeman, We save all of our bows from the received gifts each year. This works well for us, unless the bow is really damaged. We also always have some new ones on hand to use. Whichever 'type' of bow I'm using, it never sticks well to the package. I get around this problem, by lifting up the bow part, and placing scotch tape underneath. This method never fails for me. I wish you all the best with your bow sticking efforts, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
