If you go with ribbon, you can surreptitiously stitch down the middle of it into the casing so that it won't slide around too much. Then your bows won't slide into the casing at all. And captainecchi is right, you can easily try more than one solution and go with your preferred final product.
As for the tool assistance, Any thin long rod will help a lot. Just scotch tape the ribbon/elastic to on end and use that to feed it through to the other side. I've used a knitting needle, a crochet hook, or even a drinking straw. If you already have something around, don't spend the extra money at a fabric store.
