How To: Tbb/Twisted Boutique Bow (Another Method For Making This Hairbow)

Hey guys welcome back today we are going to be testing out a different technique for the twisted boutique bow. Yes, there's probably like 101 different ways. You can make the twisted a boutique bow. This one looks so so simple. I thought I would give it a whirl today and it actually comes from look at me, baby dot-com. They are actually the creators of that Gator bite device that you can put in the middle of your hair bows and it helps you crease your bows a little bit better anyways go check it out but, like I said it looks super simple, so I thought we Would give it a a test today and I'm going to be working with a 1 and 1/2 inch ribbon to begin with, and then we will test it out on some 7/8 inch ribbon alright, so I'm working with 30 inches of 1 and 1/2 inch ribbon and What I did was I just folded it in half and clipped off right there in the middle. Where now I have two pieces of ribbon, both measuring the same length, then you're going to want to take your lighter and heat SIL. All four ends of the ribbon and then we are going to take our glue gun and we are going to apply a thin line of hot glue right here at the edge of the ribbon, because we're going to be piecing, the ribbon ends together. It would be a good idea if you used your your fine tip glue gun, but, of course, mine gave out on me decided to blow up so I'm using what I have anyways so you're, going to just put the two ends together right there at the very Tip top with the glue, and then you have a circle like so we're going to do that to the other piece, just a thin layer of hot glue right there tile. When I take the other piece, the other end excuse me and I'm just going to barely overlap the two ends. So now we have two circles of ribbon all right if hot glue, all right so now we're going to find those the edges that we just glued together, both of them I'm going to put a thin layer of more hot glue on one and we're going to Find the edges of the other piece and we're going to glue those edges together, make sure your ribbons line up now they are together and if you put them together see one goes in the other, just like so all right. So now what we are going to do is we're going to find those edges. I'M going to put just a little bit more here. Okay, so we're just going to find our little edges that we glued and we're going to put that on our surface, that's going to be like the bottom right. There see all right, and then you can just pry your loops apart. You'Ll have a loop on the left and a loop on the right, I'm going to be working with this loop that is on the Left. First now see I'm going to take this piece and I'm going to flatten it down where it meets the other. The other side and then I'm going to take the top layer and I'm going to twist it you're just going to twist your wrist, I'm going to twist up at a 90 degree angle, so you're going to get a twist like that. Alright and then once you have it twisted see, there's your loops. Alright, then this ribbon, that is just hanging out on the opposite side, we're going to take it and we're going to go like over these loops right here. You don't know if you can see that return all right, so we're going to take it over and we're going to press down in the middle and then we're going to twist it the opposite direction. So I'm going to twist down and then once you have all your twisting done, you have these loops, see it's a twisted. Boutique bow, see four loops. All right! We'Ll do that again. Let me put them together, I'm not sure. If this angle, you guys are able to see me twist it alright. So here is the edges that we pieced together they're going to go right there on the bottom, I'm going to take my loops and unfold them, I'm going to work with the left side. First, I'm going to press down like this and I'm going to twist up. You turn this way, see I'm just going to twist up just like that and there's my loops now, this pesky ribbon that's hanging over here. To the other side, it's going to go up like over it, but not really over it. I'M going to stop right there in the middle and then I'm just going to twist in the opposite direction, which is down until you have your loops they're just hanging out right now. You can always play with it and twist it a little bit more before you crease it, but now you're just going to crease the center and we're going to tie it off. Okay, here's what it looks like once. You have secured it and tied it off in the middle which I've done here and also went ahead and sprayed some must've and quick on it. So it's got a nice hold and a nice shape. Alright. So, let's try the same technique with a 7/8 inch ribbon and we will put them on clips and I guess we can wear them after a head. Okay for this one, we're going to be using 7/8 inch ribbon and I'm going to be used in 28 inches. I'M going to fold it in half like we just did the first, I'm going to clip it right there in the center, where we have two pieces and then I'm going to take my lighter and I'm just going to gently glide over the ends. So we don't have to worry about anything unraveling all right. So now we have two pieces, one, two, all right, so we are going to take our hot glue and we're going to glue the little edges. The ends together of each piece remember right. At the very end, you're going to piece them together, so we've got one and we're going to do the other right here. The other side will be the other, and then we will have two circles all right, so you can put them one inside the other. Now you're going to just find where we glued the two ends together: hot glue on one piece and we're going to find the ends of the other and we're just going to overlap. The two want to make sure your ribbons are lined up. Though, and then you know once you put them inside each other, it don't look like this. Alright, so find the ends again right there and we're going to put those down just like that, then we're going to undo the loops or you have one on the right and one on the left and I'm going to be working with this left side. First again see there's the middle, we're going to take this press it down and then we're going to give our wrist a twist and I'm going to go up so you'll go up and a 90 degree angle and you'll have like a figure. Eight then we're going to take this, the one that is on the right side or actually my right and it's going to go right here in the center press down and then we're going to twist it in the opposite direction, which would be down so you're going To just twist it - and you can pick it up here and give it a look and even everything out, but there are the loops and then all you have to do is crease it right here in the middle, and we have a hair bow just like that. Pretty simple: alright: let's do that one more time, all right! So there's the bottom undo, where you have two kind of looks like like handcuffs or something all right, I'm going to try using my left hand, so you guys can see all right so you're going to go down and then twist up where you have loops. Take this one up and in the center see it's in the center press. It down like that and then you're going to twist it in the opposite direction, which is down and then it will form loops. But sometimes you'll have to kind of adjust everything and make sure it's even and there you go easy as pie, so I'm just going to crease it right here in the center and then I'm going to tie it off with some of this here thread. Okay, so here is the paint bow, I'm still waiting on the white and gold one to dry, but I did go ahead and attach this one to a clip, and I want to do show you guys what it looks like and I usually don't do - a knot Center but I decided to do one today, there is, and a lot of you wanted to see the backs of the hair bows on the clips here. It is don't pay attention to the white. I did not have any pink and for those of you that know me know that I, like the long big, French, barrettes I'll, show you. This is what it looks like on the back. I think it's really important to have a nice pretty back to match the front. You just want to make sure that everything is you know, heat sealed and all the glue is like taken away. Sometimes hot glue sticks around just run your lighter back there, but that is what it looks like yeah on a barrette. So I've got that one done and also did another pink one. This is using a 7/8 inch ribbon. It'S a hot pink, I'm going. To put it on a clip, of course, it's not attached. So what do you guys think of this method? Are you going to try it go check out the videos yeah, it's very easy and the thing I like about this one is you don't have to worry about the tail. You don't have to clip any tails because they're not showing, and it's it's really simple. So there you go, try it out. Let me know in the comments below, if you do and I'll see you guys in the next video
