Feel special with a custom-made layered bow.
Young girls often wear hair bows in their hair as an accent accessory that also keeps their hair conveniently pulled back. Hair bows can be purchased in any store where hair accessories and hair care products are sold, but it's easy to make your own hair bows with ribbon that you know will match an outfit. You can also control the shape and size of the bow for an individualized look every time.
Instructions
1. Using a ruler to measure, fold the ribbon at the 4 1/2 inch mark. Continue folding the ribbon onto itself until no excess ribbon remains, approximately three times.
2. Arrange the ends of the folded up ribbon so they are side-by-side on top of the folded up ribbon.
3. Pinch the ribbon together in the middle. Wrap wire around the middle and twist together in the back of the ribbon to hold it together. Clip off any excess wire.
4. Arrange the bow until it is just how you like it.
5. Wrap a small piece of ribbon around the center of the bow to conceal the wire. Tie the ribbon in the back. Place a dab of hot glue on the back to seal the two pieces of ribbon together, and allow to dry.
6. Attach the bow to an alligator clip with the hot glue, and allow to dry.
