How To Make A Simple Hair Bow






P.S. CLICK ANY PICTURE TO ENLARGE  


First, cut a 8.5x5 inch piece out of your selected fabric. ( Iron first if any wrinkles )
Turn fabric upside down, then fold the top down toward the middle. ( "hotdog" style )


fold the bottom toward the middle overlapping the first fold just a little
take one of the sides and fold it in toward the middle
("hamburger" style). 



secure the fold with a dot of hot glue or fabric glue (so the fold doesn't come undone)



put a small amount of hot glue or fabric glue on the corners and fold them over


put a small amount of hot glue or fabric glue on top of the glued side and pull the other flap over 


fold the corners of the second flap, just like the first, this is how the  fabric should look so far


turn the fabric over, this is how the other side should look. Set this piece to the side
Next, cut another piece of fabric, about 1,5x6 inches 
fold the piece into itself 3 times (Optional: iron piece to prevent it from unfolding). Sit this piece to the side and pick up the beginning piece.


With this piece right-side-up, scrunch to get the desired creases


This is how it should look so far




wrap the smaller piece around the main bow piece, turn to the back and tie a know


tighten the knot (remember the knot should be on the back)


push a clip through the knot



WALA MAGIC you have yourself a bow!!!
