Birthdays are a time to eat cake, make wishes, and celebrate. Every girl, young and old, deserves to feel special on her birthday, and what's more special than a personalized birthday hair bow? With a little ribbon and some glue you can make a festive hair bow fit for a princess.
Instructions
1. Turn on the hot glue gun and set aside. The glue will need to reach the appropriate temperature while you are prepping the ribbon.
2. Cut the 1/4 yard of ribbon in half. You will be left with equal lengths of ribbon that are 4.5 inches long each.
3. Take one piece of ribbon and fold the ends so that they meet in the center. Fold the ribbon in half and secure with a pin. Repeat this process with the second piece of ribbon.
4. Place the folded pieces of ribbon together to form a bow shape. This can be done by making an x shape with the ribbon and attaching them in the center with the wire. Cut any loose ends of wire and fluff the bow.
5. Glue the bow onto the barrette or clip. Let the glue dry for about one minute before gluing the birthday charm to the center of the bow. Allow at least one hour for the glue to fully set before wearing the hair bow.
