DIY Hair Bows

So I've been doing a lot of fun projects for Molly's 2nd Birthday Party that's next weekend.

Her Birthday Party Theme is going to be Rainbows, and I am super excited!

I am making bows for the little girls that come to party as party favors. 

Here is the tutorial....

First collect your ribbon, buttons, and anything else you might want on your bows.

 

Then you will also want to collect some hot glue, scissors, bobby pins and barrettes.

I am going to show you how to make the white and yellow "flower" bows in the top photo. 

First you will cut 3 strips of ribbon- it doesn't matter what length, just cut them so that when they are folded in half, they will be the size of bow you want.

Then you will need to hot glue your strips into circles, then glue the centers together to make a figure 8.

Next glue two of the "8's" together like in the picture.

Then glue the last "8" through the middle like so. 

Glue your button on the center of the front.

Glue the finished bow into the end of a clip. 

And your done!

You can also put these bows on a bobby pin. Here's how you do that.

Cut a small piece of the ribbon you used for the bow.

Place it in between the top and bottom pieces of the bobby pin. No need to glue it until the next step. 

Place a dot of glue on the back of the bow and push the pin into the glue, the small piece of ribbon will act as a barrier between the glue and the top piece of the bobby pin so it doesn't get glued down.
