Hair Bow Tutorial

 

Hair Bow Tutorial

 

 

 

I love making hair bows for my daughter. They add an

extra pop to any outfit. These are quick & easy to make.  

 

 

 

Materials needed:

scrap fabric

thread

stick pins

scissors

iron

hot glue gun

hair clips

 

 

Cut two pieces out of your fabric.

One should be 11 inches by 6 inches.

& the other 3 inches by 1.5 inches.

 

 

Fold the larger piece in half with right sides facing

in and sew together. Repeat this step on the

small piece.

 

 

Flip right-side out. Place the seam in the center as

shown & iron. Repeat this step on the small piece.

 

 

Fold in half with right sides together (seam should be

showing) & sew together. Repeat this step

on the small piece.

 

 

Turn right-side out & both pieces should look like the

picture above. This is the front of your bow. The seam you just

sewed should be centered at the back on both pieces. Iron.

 

 

Now its time to shape your bow. Place your fingers at

the back of the bow and pinch together folding the fabric

towards the front in the middle. Hot glue inside of the

fold you just made. You can also use a needle and thread

to do this and the next step if you prefer not to use hot glue.

 

 

Fold the top and bottom back and glue those

pieces down in the back. You should now have the

shape of your bow.

 

 

Slip your bow into the hole of the small piece of fabric.

The seam of the small piece should be on the back

of the bow.

 

 

Hot glue the hair clip to the back of the bow. You

can also use a needle & thread to sew it on for a

better hold but hot glue is much easier.

 

 

Your finished!!

 

You can also use this method to make smaller bows

or bigger bows. Just adjust the measurements of

your fabric cut outs to get the size you want.
