Diy Hair Bow Tutorial - Double Bow On A Headband Or Hair Clip

Hey guys welcome back to the untidy artist today I'll be showing you how to make a basic hair bow. This is a really easy hair bow that requires absolutely no sewing and it's fun to put on a headband or clip. Let'S grab our supplies and get started. The first thing, you'll need is some 1 and 1/2 inch grosgrain ribbon and then a coordinating ribbon, that's 3/8 of an inch, some scissors and a ruler something to seal the end of the ribbon with so I'll, be using a candle and a match, and my trusty Glue gun set on low and then whatever you'd like to attach your bow to I'll, be putting mine on a headband. I got these at Hobby Lobby, ok, so our first step. The first thing we'll do is measure out our ribbon. So take your 1 and 1/2 inch grosgrain ribbon and measure two pieces out to 8 inches each and then take your 3/8 of an inch ribbon and measure out about three and a half inches. Once you have these measured we're going to heat seal the edges of the room, so I just like to use a candle in a match. You can also use a lighter or whatever works best for you and you're just basically sealing the ends of the ribbon. So it doesn't unravel so be sure to seal the ends on all three pieces of your ribbon, and once you have that done, the next step is to shape our bow so grab at one of your 8 inch pieces of ribbon fold it directly in half and Then press on the fold press it down firmly I'll, even use my fingernails, so you crease the ribbon so that when you open up your ribbon, you can see a line and we're going to use that line as a guide. So we're going to put a little line of glue on the side of the line and then take your ribbon and fold it up and over and firmly press it down and then you'll do the same thing. On the other side, now we're not going to overlap our ribbon at all, just use that middle line that you folded into the ribbon as a guide and once you've glued both of the sides down. The next step is to add some shape to our bow. So here you can see the backside of the bow. Here'S the front turn it to the backside where you just pressed and glued down the ribbon and you're going to fold it in half, make sure that the ribbon is folded in half evenly and lined up. And then I take a little dab of glue and just put right inside where you just pinched the bowl, and you just need a little dab in there and then pinch it firmly until the glue sets and now you're going to do an accordion fold on each Side to fold the two edges down, so you can see we're pinching it I'm going to flip it over here to make this a little bit easier, we're going to put a little dab and then you're going to fold up those two sides pinching. It firmly hold up your other side, and this gives your bow shape so once you've done, that to one of bows go ahead and follow the exact same steps for your other eight inch piece of ribbon, and once you have both of them done, we are going To actually stack them on top of each other, so making sure that both of the bows are facing forward take a little bit of glue, make sure it's lined up evenly and you're. Just going to press the middle of the bows together, pinching firmly and you've got this really cute bow that required no sewing now. Our last step is to just apply the center to our bow. So start it from the back put a dab of glue. Take your 3/8 of an inch ribbon make sure it's lined up in the middle press it down from Liam you're going to take it wrap it towards the front up and around I like to put another dab of glue at the top of the bow to just Hold that into place, but before you glue the back before you glue anymore down on the back you're, going to grab your headband or your clip or whatever you'd like to put this on, I like to measure up figure out where you want the bow to sit On your head, I measure up about five inches and then put a big gap of glue on the back of the bow, lay down your headband and then, while the glue is still wet, folds the piece of ribbon up and around the headband and then you're going To wrap that middle piece of ribbon around just one more time, I put another dab of glue just at the top there and then on the back again to securely hold it into place and tada. That'S it. You have this really professional boutique style, bow that required. No sewing and they're fast and easy to make.
