Those cute little bows on bumpers: can I do this on a breathable?

I'm getting a breathable bumper for our crib.  The only thing I like about regular bumpers is those adorable little bows along the rails (I'm such a girly girl, lol)!  Like in this pic:

So my question is, would it be ridiculous to get satin ribbon and tie make-shift bows along the top and bottom of my breathable bumper, to give it this effect? They wouldn't be connected to the bumper (unless I sewed the ribbon to the bumper before tying around the rails...hmm).  Do the bows, in any way, pose a SIDS threat (I'm thinking no...but it's worth asking)?

To give you a visual, this is the breathable bumper I'm getting (but on a white crib):

    I think that if there was anyway the baby would come in contact with the bows I wouldnt do it and I would probally sew them on so they don't unravel and fall in to the crib. I think it would look cute and really dress up those ugly bumpers(sorry I think they are soooo ugly). Post a pic if you do, maybe you can change my mine and I go with breathable ones!! I am going sans bumpers but I think they really make a crib :(

    This, if you're going to do it, make the bow, then sew the entire thing onto the bumper so it doesn't unravel and become a strangulation hazard (doubtful that it would, but better safe than sorry).

    Good point about sewing them on.  I wasn't thinking about them coming undone. I knew that the regular bumpers are considered hazardous b/c of the suffocation factor, but I wanted to make sure the ribbons/ties weren't also a concern (breathable bumpers don't have the ties, so I wondered if there was a reason). 

    I'll definitely post pictures if I do this!

    It's a cute idea!  I just might steal it!  We're using the same breathable bumper, but in sage green.  Cute little chocolate bows would be adorable!
