How To Make Hair Bows With Ribbon |Hair Bow Tutorial |Diy Hair Bow Tutorial | Lucia Bow

Hi everyone today, i'm going to show you how to make this alternative tape on like a sailor, tuxbow or a loopy turbo. So, as you can see, i've got this cute interesting design on top, and this is in three inch run and i've done it in 1.5. Inch ribbon and also one inch of one look, how cute that one is so. I'Ve got the measurements for all three sizes and i'll do two introvert as well, so they'll all be in the description box below, including where all the pins need to go, and everything like that. So, let's just move these out the way and we're going to be using 1.5 inch oven today or four centimeters, depending on how you work there, we go so 1.5, 4 centimeters and it's 2 times 36 centimeters and you pin at 17 and 28, and you do That on both pieces, there we go. What you want to do is you want to flip this side because we're doing left and right hand, pieces and where you want to start, is you want the two longest pieces of the two 17 centimeter pieces like this? With the pins facing in don't forget to heat sew your ribbon in the blue, clear bit of your flame, there we go so i'm going to take this side and what you want to do is curve it and bring it. So that's like this and then we're going to pinch that so we've got a triangle shape here and take our clip there, and this is the look you should be starting on this side and we're going to do exactly the same. This one curve it round and then from that curve you bring that so it's against pin you want to pinch this into a triangle and again take clip - and this is your start point from both sides. Okay, so i'm going to take this side bring this up. You want that triangle against the pin. This is what you should have i'll just turn it over. This is what the back should look like: okay and then we're going to take this clip and move it out of the way, a second and then we're going to keep that triangle. Nice and sharp and we're going to fold that over so that that's still against corner and everything's over like this, so you've got this pocket like that. Okay, so that's outside and then we're going to do exactly the same thing this way and take this corner right against our pin. Take our clip out away for a second. This is our shape, the back end, and then we fold that, over, like so and re-clip and as you'll see these triangle, pocket pockets are both facing opposite directions, so they're facing the same way, you've done something wrong. You want them both this way and at the minute you can see that back edge in a minute we're going to hide that. So what you do with this side. Is you fold that over and clip here and again, we want to hide all of this so fold it over re-clip. Here and again, your triangles are facing in opposite directions: okay, i'm just going to remove my clips and then we're going to take this pin and we've got this. We'Ve got three bits here, so we've got here and here or two you don't want to go here. You want to twist this over in between this gap, and you want your pin against this corner here, like this same on this side. Take this make sure it's between this layer, not the bottom, the middle one turn it over and bring that pin. So it's a this is what the fronts will look like. This is what the backs look like. Okay from there turn it under and what i do is i use this side as a guide make sure it's butted against that side. So it's straight edged and taken on the clip, and i pop that across there to hold that in place when i'm stitching and again this is the front. That'S what the back looks like and same thing again curve it under from there take clip clip it across hold it in place, and this is what your fronts will look like. So they're mirror images of each other and then we're going to take a thread and i'll show you the amount of stitches on each side. We want to start in this corner from above one two. Three four take turn out five and your sixth one from beneath. I like to do just tuck it in a little bit from beneath, not through that you want to be going just before so one two, three four five, six and there'll be three on the other side, and then we go in this side and we want to Be capturing that little bit that we've just locked over, so that's one, two three four five down and your sixth one. When we're doing this one, all the edges that we've just lined up, they should all be being stitched together. Otherwise, you'll have issues the sixth one wants to be coming from beneath capturing all them layers. As i said, we want it to be coming through that triangle, this side, so in one two over one two out and on the back you'll have one two three one, two three like this, and i can take that pin out that side, just put my thread Along and then we're going to start from the triangle, this side clip out the way. Okay, so take this thing out and again make sure you capture in all those layers, you'll be able to feel them in your fingers from above one two, three, four five six one should be above. Take your pin out overlap it a teeny, tiny bit and on this side the sixth one from beneath should be going up through that overlap bit just a little bit and your first stitch. This side should be from above over. So that's one two, three four five and your sixth one from beneath again so in one two across one, two out, which is one two, three four five, six one, two three four, five, six and again you've got one two, three one, two three and it's really Important when i tell you the stitch placements on these designs, it's really important to follow through, especially that bit where we overlock it a little bit because it basically helps you build the whole structure of the bow and stops things from like slipping and moving around and, Like pockets going from out of place, because if you don't get that overlap right, this bit doesn't sit in nicely and it comes too far up and it makes the bow look um. It doesn't look anything like you're expecting it to so. Take your pieces and cinch. It and each side will have six cinches, so you'll have three on each piece and i re-line that up this side you can make this in two parts and glue them together. It'S entirely up to you which method works best for you, but this is how i like to do it. So i realign all of those up and i go right back through pretty much on the original stitch pattern and pull that really really tight. And then i'm going to do exactly the same on this side and you'll find if you do this version, you'll get like a natural curve, two bows that sit nicely against um heads. So there you go and you can start to see the structure of the bow. So this is what the front looks like at the minute. This is what the back looks like. If you've done it right, you will only see a small percentage of this pocket that we originally started with. So i'm going to bring the thread back and then what i do is i do a couple of stitches in the back just to stitch off and secure my thread, and i just fold it like this go through both sides. Untangle, if i need to, i always like to have longer fred, it's just a habit of mine. This only happens when i'm making tutorials by the way the rest of the time. I do it perfectly fine and it really ever bothers me there we go normally. I would uh tie that off instead of well, that's all nice and secure now for us. The other thing i like to do is like take my tails, and i will overlap them like this and make sure they're both the same length. If there's a little bit of difference, trim it down a little bit like so, and then i like to do a nice gentle curve online like this, and then you can take this. If you flip it over, you can hold it in place and use it as a guide for that side. So you've got even tails heat seal. There'S those and then we've got a bubble. Some nine millimeter to wrap our center and then i'm gon na do a scrunch middle just to give it a pop of interest. So just a touch of glue back in our circle bit. Here there we go, and i like the seamless bubbles where you can see the seam slightly. I like to put that in the glue for extra security use the leftover to attach a nine millimeter around your bubble. You can do an alligator clip as well. It'S entirely up to you. I like these pigtail sets. So that's why i use bubbles wrap around your center once round again make sure you go over the original ribbon nice and tight cut that extra off all the way heat seal that end and drop the glue. Here fold that in and then i like to just adjust my pockets so that they're nice and even i think i've done that side a little bit deeper. So i'm just gon na adjust that slightly. You can do these at angles. You can do them with curves. You can put spikes in it's entirely up to you. This is just my personal preference, so this is what it looks like with the standard middle. Like i said, this is front. This is what the back will look like there. You go just show you the side, so you can see - and i like to do like a little scrunch middle. So take a piece this. This is one inch or just under one inch, and it's about five and a half six centimeters long, and what i do is i fold this end into an s like this pinch. It like that. Take your lighter. Do this be careful your fingers pinch it together. So it's held and then we do the same, the opposite side, s again heat really lighter your fingers. I'M just going to trim that a little bit of plastic here and then you get a pocket here and a pocket here and on one of the flat sides. You want a bit of glue here there we go this around the back of your bow and then you like twist it round like this, so you get that scrunchy look and then we want some more glue on this side adjust your loop, so they stand how They want you want them to and with the loops being like this, they can flatten down a little bit like this. So if you are sending it out to a customer before you do it, what i would suggest is blasting it with some extra strength. Extra hairspray and all you would do is in a ventilated area spray. It gently on the front till it's slightly damp same on the back blow off. Any glue string is like i just did and then that all set - and it will keep these - leaves nice and um nice and where they want to and they won't move or flatten. So there is the super cute bow like i said, all the measurements and everything because the technique changes on in the description below and i'll speak to you all soon bye. You
