Christmas Gift/Parcel Bow Style Hair Bow Tutorial // How To Make Hair Bows // Laço De Fita

Hi everyone today, i'm going to show you how to make these cute gift style. Hair bows. I absolutely love these for christmas time. I'M going to show you how to make this smaller one using one centimeter wide ribbon, and this bigger one here using two and a half centimeter wide ribbon or one inch wide ribbon. So i'll show you both of these, so we're going to make the smaller one. First now the actual finished bow measures around one and a half centimeters or four centimeters, and to make this bow, you need seven pieces of ribbon. These three are the same length and they are all cut to four inches in length, so three pieces at four inches in length and then another three pieces at three and a half inch in length. So there's another three pieces: three and a half inch in length and then this little piece here, which is one and a half inch in length and that's just one piece at one and a half inches so seven pieces all together. Now the first thing of all that you need to do is take a lighter and you need to heat seal the ends on all seven pieces of ribbon and then starting with the longer pieces, which are the four inch pieces you want to take. One of the pieces first and fold it in half to find the center i'll just give it a quick little pinch using the warmth of my fingers to get a little crease in there and then using a hot glue gun. I'M going to place a little bit of glue just where that crease is bringing this top half round curling it round. So the bottom is going to be glued to this you're not going to fold it over you're still going to be sticking the bottom down so grab and hold of the end bringing it round and then we're going to slightly angle. It diagonally over the center there. So this corner is in line with this edge, and this corner is in line with this edge and it's at a slight angle here and it's across that center crease, going through the middle and then you're going to flip it around and repeat that step again. So, grab a new glue and pop in it just along the edge of that piece. You'Ve just bought round grab the top curl it round making sure the bottom of the ribbon is sticking down. You'Re, not folding it over. So you've got this figure of eight shape. Like that, we're going to repeat that, on the other two four inch pieces so again, folding it in half to find the center placing some glue in the center grab, the top bringing it round and land over that center piece. Diagonally flipping it over a bit of glue along that edge grabbing the end curling it round and slightly overlapping, that last piece you laid down so again, both corners are lined up, and this piece of ribbon is all lined up across this middle there, like that, and The last four inch piece so now we've got three of these figure of eight pieces. Some reason i've got very stringy glue today. So now we've got these three we're going to layer these up, one on top of the other, like that, like a flower shape, so placing some glue in the middle of one of them, taking the second piece and layering it on top, so you've got like an X, shape and then again another piece of glue in that center and lay the third piece in there like that. So you can see that's starting to take shape now and next, using the three three and a half inch pieces of ribbon, we're going to repeat those steps exactly the same with these pieces. So now we've got those three pieces made: i'm not going to make the flower with these threes, like i did this one, i'm going to now layer these directly onto this flower and the reason i'm doing that is so i can layer each one in between each Of these petals, if you like so taking one of my smaller pieces, now placing some glue at the bottom or you can place it in the middle of here, i'm going to start layering this up between each of these. So this one is going to go in this direction and, as you can see, they're slightly smaller for the next layer turning around slightly and this one's going to go between the next two and turn it around once more to go between the next two. So we're staggering them so that it looks nice and full and all in uniform as well and now taking our last piece. This is the one and a half inch piece we're going to form a full loop, so i'm just going to place some glue on one end and then curl this around overlapping it by around sort of three millimeters or so to form a nice loop. So we've got a loop like that and we're going to stick this in the middle, so the last one went across this way. So i'm going to stick this in the opposite way to my last loop, so my last loop is now going across this way. So i'm going to stick this on, so the open parts are facing the insides and then i'm going to add this tiny little clip. This clip is a it's about one and a quarter inch. I got these from aliexpress. I will link them in the description below they're super cute. I always have some smaller ones at hand and i'm going to lay this opposite this bottom one so going across the opposite direction to the bottom loop. It don't matter really. You could lay it anyway, but that's just the way i like to do it so now i've got a cute little pair of mini christmas gift bows and now we're going to make the bigger one. So i'll just lay these ones. Aside. Now, for this bigger one again, you will need seven pieces. You will need three pieces cut to eight inches in length, so three pieces at eight inches in length, seven inches in length, so three pieces at seven inches in length and the middle part is going to be three inches. So one part at three inches again, beginning with the larger ones and heat sealing all of the ends on all of your pieces of ribbon, starting with the larger ones. We'Re going to do exactly the same steps as we did for the smaller ones, and this finished bow is around 4 inches or 10 centimeters, so repeating all of those same steps again, folding the ribbon in half getting a crease in the middle. These are actually easier to make with the wider ribbon. I'M just going to place some glue diagonally across my crease again bring in the top round without folding it. You want to bring it round to form like a little loop lining this corner up with the inner corner, slightly angling it, and you will get a tiny little gap here of around four to five millimeters. That is normal. This is what you're aiming for. I do this by eye. I don't bother measuring this i'll. Just do it by eye again placing some glue across the bottom of that last piece and i've turned it around to make it easier. So i can bring the top piece round and do exactly the same step lining this corner up with this edge, and it will naturally line up down the middle there as well. So you've got this shape. We'Re going to do that on all of these pieces and again we're going to layer, the bigger ones up first into the flower shape and then layer, these ones in individually on the top and again we're going to now layer. These smaller pieces in between each of these petals i like to call them so starting off with this one down the middle, i'm going to go next to that one. So it falls between this one and this one down the middle here and then i'm going to continue like that. All the way around and now for the last piece we're going to form that loop for the middle, so just curling this round overlapping it by around half a centimeter to form a loop and then the placing the glue on the bottom. Where the join is and go and opposite this top one, so the top one now goes across, so this is going to go in this way. Now we can add our clip to the bottom of this one, placing the glue along the bottom and i'm going to go opposite this bottom loop and there you have your parcel bows with two different widths of ribbon.
