How To Make A Little Girl Boutique Hair Bow

Welcome to bitty bum boutique TV today, I'm going to show you how to make what I call a little girl hair bow. This is that's just the size size bow. It is I on my site. I called this one. The little girl here about so you're going to need a piece of 7/8 inch, wide ribbon and you're, going to cut it to 24 inches and we're gon na do the same technique. We do for the big girl hair bow, it's just you're, just using thinner, ribbon and cutting it smaller. So it makes it. You know just a different size, so you're gon na fold it in half fold your ribbon all the way in half, then you're gon na fold it up about almost about two inches where the so this is going to be your tails of your bow. So you fold that up two inches and then you're gon na fold, the whole thing in half again and you every time you fold you want to make sure you're pressing down and making a good crease, because that's gon na help you make your loops. So once you have all your creases good and then you're going to unfold your ribbon and you start with one end, doesn't matter which end because they're both the same so you're gon na you can see where that creases. And then you find your second crease and you're gon na lay the tail on top and you kind of make an X with the creases an X, and then you want to leave it towards the top of the ribbon. So that's your first loop, I'm gon na take your long piece and find the next crease and wrap it over on top and again you're making like an X and this time you're going to go towards the bottom of that bottom piece of ribbon. So then, you just kind of look see if there your loops are even that looks about good. So then just hold on to that with your thumb and then find your next crease for your third loop and this piece is going to go under one under two. So it's going to go in between this tail and the bottom piece of, and you just put it right in the middle there, all the way, just kind of have to lift your thumb a little. But you don't want to let go of those other loops and that one goes so it goes should go straight across and then for your fourth loop. You find your fourth crease and you're gon na put it right here in the middle kind of at an angle. In the middle of it there like that, and then you should have all 4 loops kind of iets see if they look even and then you're gon na fold in half up and then you fold each side down. So it's like a fan fold, but so it's in half and then the two sides down then you're going to you should already have your wire cut or ribbon. However, you're gon na do it. I use wire, and this is um just floral wire. It comes in a thing like this: it's floral wire and I don't know. Oh this is 26 gauge, so they come in different thicknesses. I just buy it in the floral section at the craft store. So you pull that tight. Then you can pull up your loops and see if they're, all even you need to adjust anything that looks good. Sometimes, since you can move the wire a little if you need to, and then I just have a pair of pliers that I use to pull or make the wire tight. Oh good just cut that off and I always go back in with my pliers and I flatten this middle piece flatten. It with my pliers just makes the wire stay more secure, so you Det, then we're gon na glue on our knot. So just it droppeth glue in the middle there just to hold this while we wrap it around and for this bow we're gon na add a French barrette clip instead of an alligator clip so you're just gon na open that these are, I think, are the 50 Millimeter long ones that you can they come in different sizes, you're gon na take out this middle bar. Just while you you're gluing, so you're gon na wrap this around pull your loops up, so they don't get glued down. And then I always put a dot of glue kind of on the sides there just to hold it in place and then you're just doing a line of glue to glue your clip on. So you just you, don't have you can line these clips if you want, but I don't ever do that unless it's gon na show I'm just gon na trim, this ribbon glue it down and I used five-eighths inch matching ribbon for the knot, but you could also Use the 3/8, so it's up to you and then you're gon na put your little bracket back in little piece close it there. You go then just trim your ends. I cut mine, it might this size. I cut in an angle the big ones. I just cut strip and there you have it. This is a little girl, size, hair, bow and then all you need to do is heat-seal the end. So that's that sighs. This is a big girl, so you can kind of see the difference in sizes and that's it thanks for watching.
