Young girls love to wear beautiful ribbons in their hair. Instead of simply tying a ribbon in your daughter's hair, you can make a cute curly ribbon hair bow for her to wear. Make these bows in several colors so your daughter will have a hair accessory for every outfit.
Instructions
1. Attach the ribbon to the dowel with a straight pin. Wrap the ribbon around the dowel and adhere the other end with a straight pin as well.
2. Wrap as many dowels with ribbon as you would like with different colors on each dowel. Place the dowels on a cookie sheet. Put the dowels in the oven at 200 F to warm for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the ribbon from the dowel and cut the ribbon into 3 ½- to 4-inch strips.
4. Take three pieces of ribbon and tie all of them around the elastic to make one knot. Once it is on the elastic, take the glue gun and put a small dab of glue on the knot to make sure that it won't come undone. If you are using the double prong clips, just tie the three pieces together into one knot.
5. Keep repeating step four, if you are using elastic, until you have around 10 hooked onto your elastic. When done putting the knots around the elastic, finish the hair bow by scooting the knots close together so that you can't see the knots from the top view. If you using hair clips, make about 10 groups of knots. Glue a piece of ribbon on the clip to cover the top. Glue the knots onto the ribbon on top of the clip. When you fill the clip, you are finished.
