How To Make A Pinwheel Hair Bow - Tott Instructions

Start by placing the ribbon in front of the bow maker with excess ribbon at the left, take the ribbon. That'S at the right. Take it all the way around both dowels and bring it and around the front again we're just wrapping it around the dowels and wrap it around again. Now, at this point, you might find it helpful to use an alligator clip and just place it right there at the right dowel to hold the ribbon in place. You may also find it helpful to place one at the left bottom to hold. Everything in place now. Take your thread place it at the back through the center, make sure you have the center point, pull the thread all the way through take it over the top and under the bottom. Okay, make sure you have the center now you're just going to pull in a downward motion on that thread and I'll make a little crease at the top. Now take it up at the bottom and pull up and it will make a crease as well make sure you're maintaining the center point. Okay, at this point, you can take the bow off of the bow maker and remove the clips. If you want to and before you tighten it too much just shape those loops you'll hold it hold this inner tightly with your left hand and pull on that thread shape the lips a little more take the thread around the center. A couple more times shape the loops a little more okay, now you're going to finish that thread off at the back cut your tails and seal the ends.
