DIY: Hair Bows

Today I made this cute bow! I am so happy with the way it turned out! I made this bow using a sewing machine, but you can also use fabric glue if you don't know how to sew.
What you'll need is fabric, scissors, a ruler, hair clips, a glue gun, and an iron is optional. Of course you'll need a sewing machine or some fabric glue.

1)The first thing you're going to do is cut out two pieces of fabric. One piece will be 10 1/2 inches wide and 9 1/2 inches long. The other piece will be 3 1/2 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches long. Lay them down flat with the pretty side of the fabric facing upwards.

2)Fold the two pieces of fabric hot dog style and sew along the tops only. They should look like little sleeves when you're done.

3)Turn the fabric inside out, and iron them flat with the sewed edge in the center.

4)flip the fabric over with the side that has the sewn edge facing down, and you're gonna do the same thing you did in step 2 except you fold the pieces of fabric hamburger style.

5)Flip the fabric inside out again and they should look like a little bracelet and a ring.

6)You're gonna keep the bigger piece flat, and fold it accordion style and slide it through the smaller piece.

7)lastly, you're going to fan out the sides and then hot glue your hair clip to the back.

I've made so many bows already, I have become an addict! If anything confuses you, feel free to tell me down in the comments and I'll be happy to help you understand:)
