Make a Scene Hair Bow
Large hair bows made in a wide variety of colors are popular among scene girls. These large hair bows can be found in accessory and clothing stores such as Claire's and Hot Topic. For truly original scene bows, make your own. A quick trip to the craft store will provide you with everything you need to get started on your own bows.
Instructions
1. Take your 12-inch strip of ribbon and fold the ribbon back three inches from one end. Fold the ribbon back three inches from the last fold. Fold the ribbon forward three inches from the second fold. Finally fold the ribbon back three inches from the third fold. You want the ribbon to slightly overlap with each fold.
2. Pinch the ribbon in the center. You might have to attempt the pinch a few times before you get a good shape for your bow. You want the loops of the bow to be full and the front of the ribbon to show, not the inside of the loops.
3. Wrap a five-inch length of craft wire around the center of the bow to hold it together. Twist the ends of the wire together once most of the length of the wire is wrapped around the bow.
4. Trim the ends of the wire close to the wire so they don't show in the front of the bow.
5. Wrap a two-inch strip of one-quarter-inch wide ribbon around the center of the bow to cover the wire. Use super glue to hold the ribbon around the center of the bow.
6. Apply a thin strip of super glue the bow to the top of the blank alligator clip and attach the ribbon to the surface.
