How to make Bows for little girls

Little girls always look super cute with bows in their hair but you might feel silly buying them when you know you could make them yourself. So why not learn?!

What you will need:

• 22 inches of 1" wide ribbon
• 1/4" wide ribbon for center
• Scissors
• Needle
• Matching Thread
• Hot glue gun

How to do it:

• Fold your 1" ribbon in half and crease the middle by pinching it
• With the right side of the ribbon on a hard surface take both ends and twist them towards the middle

• Pull the loops you just created (right side up) towards the center to make an X

• Adjust the loops so that they are all roughly the same size.
• Sew three stitches down the center of the X and pull tight. Wrap the thread around the bow to keep it tight, tie a knot in the string, and cut it off.

• Now you can wrap the smaller ribbon around the center and either sew or glue into place

Now you have a bow that you can glue to a barrette.
