Net hair bows can look charming on girls and women of any age. A dainty bow for a baby girl's cornsilk hair, a bold oversized bow to set off a teen's ensemble, a restrained bow accent for a more mature lady-hair bows can complement any look. A simple net fabric bow can be adapted to create a number of different effects.
Instructions
1. Fold the piece of 1-inch wide ribbon in half, inside-out. Stitch the ends together. Turn the loop of ribbon you've formed right side out. Take the piece of net fabric and lay the satin ribbon approximately 3 inches from one of the shorter ends. Lay it flat so that the sewn ends are placed centrally.
2. Fold the net around into thirds lengthways, so that you have a 4-inch-long piece of folded net fabric with one layer over the satin ribbon. Make a row of tacking stitches through the middle of the fabric widthways. Draw the thread tight, then wrap it tightly around the middle of the bow several times and tie off securely.
3. Wrap the narrower piece of ribbon around the center, over the thread gathering the ribbon into a bow. Stitch tightly in place underneath the bow to create a smooth finish. Sew the shank button into the middle of the bow. Sew or glue the bow onto the hairband. Make sure it is very firmly attached in the center. You may wish to add a line of stitches along the underside of the bow, securing it to the headband so that it stays in position.
