Add a tulle hair bow to a headband.
Light, airy tulle hair bows are perfect for spring and summer. Make tulle bows to match your daughter's Easter dress and attach matching bows to her basket. Glue a few silk flowers to the knot of a tulle hair bow for an adorable flower girl headpiece for a summer wedding. You can make a tulle bow in just a few minutes from inexpensive materials.
Instructions
1. Cut a 50-inch-long strip of tulle, three times as wide as you want the bow to be.
2. Cut a 4-inch square of tulle and fold it in half twice to make a 1-inch wide strip. Pin the folds in place. Thread a needle with 22 inches of thread and knot the ends together.
3. Lay the large strip of tulle on a table with a short side closest to you.
4. Gather the tulle together by pulling the tulle toward you until you have gathered it into a 3-inch band of tulle that is three times as long as you want the bow to be.
5. Fold the band of tulle into thirds by bringing the side ends toward the middle and overlapping them. The folds on each side are the loops of the bow.
6. Remove the pins from the 1-inch strip of tulle and wrap it around the center of the bow. Wrap it tightly enough to pull the tulle into a bow shape. Sew the strip together where it overlaps and cut off any excess tulle.
7. Hot glue the bow to a barrette or a hair clip.
