I love making bows, so I thought it would be fun to make a tutorial! It is super easy and there is no sewing involved! All you need is some fabric, a pair of scissors, and a bobby pin. Here's what it looks like:
Ok let's get started!!!
Step 1. Cut out a big rectangle that is about 11" by 12", a small rectangle that is about 2.5" by 7", and a small strip about 0.5" by 6".
Step 2. Fold the big rectangle (11" by 12") until it is the width you want your bow to be.
Step 3. Fold in the sides of the same rectangle in so that they overlap each other in the middle so that it is the length you want your bow to be.
Step 4. Pinch and fold the rectangle so that it creates the bow shape.
Step 5. Use the small strip (0.5" by 6") and tie it tightly around the middle of the bow so that the folds stay. I made a triple knot. Cut off the extra fabric strips off.
Step 6. Take the small rectangle (2.5" by 7") and fold the cut edges inward so you can't see them on the other side.
Step 7. Tie the small folded rectangle tightly around the middle of the bow. Cut off the extra fabric strips.
Step 8. Insert the bobby pin in the back of the bow by the knot.
And now you're finished!!
Here's a matching outfit to go with your new bow! It's perfect for a girls night out, a school day, a weekend, or even a date! Pretty much anywhere :)
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and outfit! Have a fabulous day!!

ReplyDeleteOK, I love your tutorial, and I made 2 cute bows. however, I cant get the bobby pin to stay in :( any tips?
ReplyDeleteAw I'm glad you loved it! I would suggest using some glue on the inside of the bow to secure the bobby pin. E600 is a really good glue, but hot glue should be fine! Put the bobby pin in first and then kinda squirt the glue in so it doesn't get all over it. I hope this helps!
