Boutique Hair Bows Tutorial

Well, good morning, everybody isn't today a lovely day and I'm gon na show you how to make something really special. Oh once again welcome to sugar, plum dolls, clothes pin dolls come I'm gon na show you how to make these boutique style. Hair bows. I'Ve seen these all over on the internet and I really wasn't quite sure how to make them um. But it's it's really easy. It looks complicated, but it's not so I'm gon na make an attempt to show you exactly what you need to do to make a very pretty boutique style. Hair bow. Okay. This is one of the integral pieces important pieces that you need to make your um boutique style, hair bow. Now I have some hair bows and I'm just gon na pick some different colors and sizes, nothing in particular just to show you you're gon na have some of your bows already made your little bows in different sizes. I just so happen to have a whole bucket. Full cuz, I make them all the time and have them handy, and then you need to make this loopy loop thing and I'm gon na show you how really easy it is to make the UM loose. Once you make your loops, you just set your bows and your different sizes and color combinations in the center, and you can either glue it down with the tacky glue or your hot glue gun for this stage, when you're putting all your individual bows inside your. I guess it's not quite a figure. Eight we'll call it your loopy loop. What I'm making these the loopy loops? I use the tacky glue. The quick set click dry tacky glue, it's just little bit easier, but you could use a hot glue gun and then you're. Just gon na, like I said you can hot glue your individual bows into the center piece. Okay, what you need to do is you're gon na first start with a piece of ribbon. Whatever ribbon. Color you choose to work with is just fine for purposes of this demonstration, I'm going to use, yellow, okay, um. You need to get a measuring tape. Just gon na use this one and for the average size bow now the sizes might be different. You need a 28 inch piece of ribbon, so just take your tape, measure or yardstick or ruler or whatever you have and just measure out 28 inches. Now, I'm not really sure why 28 inches seems to be the magic number for an average-size bow it just does. I tried doing it without measuring and mine. Don'T seem to come out that! Well, okay, so you have your 28 inch piece of ribbon. You want to match the two ends up and at this point you could use your cigarette lighter or whatever to seal the ends, but anyway take your take it and measure it halfway and just put a little a little notch on there. So you'll know where the halfway point is: um you're, not gon na see the pencil markings um when you put your make when you make your finished loopy loop thing, but you want to do it lightly, I'm gon na. Do it press a little hard, because I need you to see? Okay, so you folded it in half and you made a little pencil mark or you could use that stuff for sewing. That comes right out or you could use a chalk, but you it's really important and you're gon na see why, in a minute, why you need to mark where these loopy loops are gon na go and then you need to mark again. I'M sorry can I show you that you fold you folded it once then you're gon na fold it again and just make a little pencil and you're gon na need that pencil mark on the other side as well, because when you open up the piece of ribbon, You should have one two three months: okay, now it gets a little tricky here, so you may have to rewind the video. But I start I take a little bit of glue and put it on that pencil mark, okay and then just bring the loop. The end of the loop towards you towards you and just tap it down so it'll stay and that's your first loopy loop. Let me make sure you can see that really low yeah, that's your first loopy. Okay, see no take the other edge of the ribbon and you see where you made that mark put another dab of glue just a little bit of glue, don't overdo it with the glue. I can't stress that enough, because then it makes a big messy mess and you're just gon na make sure that that little pencil mark kind of lines up where the other loopy loop is and once again remember I'll. Take this off you're, bringing it back towards you. That is the easiest way. I can tell you how to do these loopy loops and the first time I started doing these. I could not figure it out. I looked at a whole lot of people whose instructions on the internet - and that's that made no sense to me what so ever, but I finally figured you out now what I'm gon na do here, I'm just gon na turn this a little bit cuz. For me. It'S easier, if I know I'm always bringing the loop back around towards myself. I don't know why it just seems to work. So I've turned it and now you see it's pointing that way. Okay, so I'm just gon na take this tail end. I'M just gon na wrap it again and see when that pencil mark popped up again and I'm gon na kind of look at it in place and make sure it's in the right spot make sure my two loops on this side are pretty even okay. I'M gon na put down a little spot of glue here. Remember not too much and then we've got my other loopy loop. It'S gon na slide around with it because it is blue, but it's okay, it'll! It'S! If you get the super tacky aleene's glue. 8A. The quick dry one, it's fine, okay and then I'm gon na move this one more time because, like I said for me, it's easier bringing the tail towards me. Okay! So now I know you're gon na say: oh, it didn't come out perfect. My four loops aren't exactly perfect but you're making a handmade hair bow. This is not a machine made product, so it's not gon na be SuperDuper perfect every time, but all things considered for what you're using it for it's gon na look pretty darn good and it's gon na cause a whole lot less than ten or fifteen dollars that You paid for a boutique well Tom there. It is at this point you you're gon na. Let that glue dry and then you could take your different colors of ribbon and you could use glue or the hot glue gun set them in the middle glue them down. Pretty pretty little doodad or something in the middle and that's all you need to make a boutique style, though it's a loopy loop thing, that's the key, so I hope you enjoyed today's video and once again here, sir so finish: boutique style bows um. For me, when I start selling these bows, my regular bows sell for about $ 4 each. These are probably gon na go for about $ 10, each because slaps a lot of ribbon. That'S a lot of work and they're much more expensive in boutiques. So once again, I hope you enjoyed the basics on learning, how to make a boutique hair a boutique style, hair bow.
