What is popular in America for March 25 Greek Independence Day programs? Greek bows for girls and women.
This past summer, I went shopping at Sotiris Mantzouranis fabric store at the corner of Kolokotronis Square, Tripoli, Greece. My mission was to buy materials to create Greek independence day bows. “they use blue and white ribbons,” said owner Sotiris. “I have two types of miniature, embroidered flags you can glue on the bows.”
In our Queens, we created bows with glued flags in center. We then glued them on barrettes. Fashionable and admired by all, or other was to buy ready-made bows from Etsy. Nothing on Amazon.
If you have family or friends visiting Greece, asked them to go shopping in a fabric store for blue-and-white ribbons and 1 to 2 inch embroidered flags. A creative fun project for all to enjoy.
