Hair bows
are easy ways to dress up a little girl's outfit.
When dressing little girls, it is common to match their outfit to their hair bows, especially for special occasions such as church functions, school plays and banquets. Purchasing hair bows can become expensive, and since you have to accept what is in stock, the whole experience can be limiting and can leave you spending a lot of money on what you don't want. An easy solution to this problem is to make hair bows yourself using fabric.
Instructions
1. Cut a piece of your chosen fabric so that it measures 2 inches by 5 inches. Cut your fabric again so that it is about two or three times the length of the hair barrette, depending on how high you want the loops and how many loops you want.
2. Squeeze a drop of hot glue onto one end of the barrette's flat surface. Press the fabric, about half an inch from the end of the barrette, onto the glue until it adheres.
3. Create a loop with the fabric as if you were tying your shoe. Once the loop is as high as you would like it, twist some of the wire around the base of the loop, making sure to wrap the wire around the barrette. Do this twice for each loop. Repeat until you have as many loops as necessary.
4. Finish the barrette with a dab of hot glue and press the other end of the fabric on it. Snip the ends of the fabric so that they are cut into a V-shape.
5. Go through and use hot glue to secure any loose pieces of the hair bow.
