DIY Tutorial Hair Bow

DIY Hair bows are fun accessories that can be worn with any length of hair and at any age. Occasionally, you might want a hair bow that matches your outfit or is themed for a certain event, but you can't find the design you are looking for in the store. In these cases, or when you're just feeling creative, gather some materials and make your very own bow.

Preparing the Fabric and Materials

1. Select the fabric you would like to use for your bow. Some great fabrics to use would be satin, velvet, nylon, cotton, vinyl, or grosgrain. You can choose whichever material you like best.

Consider how stiff you want your bow to be when picking out the ribbon. If you want your bow to pop-up, use a firmer material like grosgrain or vinyl

2. Decide how you want to fasten the ribbon in your hair. There are many types of hair clips, ties and headbands available, and ribbon can be attached to almost all of them. All you will need to attach your ribbon to your hair accessory is a hot glue gun or fabric glue.

3. Choose the type of bow you want to make. There are endless styles of bows to pick from, all ranging in level of difficulty. Decide if you want to make a bow that requires glue or stitching before you begin.

While bow making may seem challenging at first, with practice, it will become easier, and you can keep moving on to more challenging bows.
