Bun Wrap Braided Tutorial For Hair Bows

Hi everyone welcome to our tutorial for Texas diva bows, I'm going to go ahead and show you how to make the braiding oops sorry, the braiding on this wonderful bun wrap, I'm just going to show you how to do the braiding. The reason I'm only going to show you how to do the braiding is because you can put any other bow that you want on the top. It'S up to you. I use a lot of pinwheels because that's what I like, but they're real fun to do and super easy. You all have seen them on my in my shop and have asked about it. So here's a tutorial can get some more light in here. It'S kind of cloudy and rainy today, okay, so what you're going to need is two strips of three-eighths ribbon and cut in 33 inches, that's 33 inches once you cut them, you're going to heat seal the ends so you're going to need your fabulous lighter. Of course, your scissors, your trusty scissors, your glue gun and because we're only going to do the braiding, this is all you're going to need. Okay, so i'm not going to show you how to actual finish, putting the bows on it, because it all depends on what you want to put on it. You can put shabby flowers, you can put the Dahlia flowers, you can put boutique bows. There'S a lot of things that you can put on. The end is basically up to you. Okay, so let's start I'm going to go ahead and heat seal the ends and i'm going to use okay now, first, what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and take one end of your first color and i'm going to use two different colors. So that you all can tell in the video, but you can use the same colors if you want the braiding done all in one color, but we're going to go ahead and use pink and white for this tutorial. Okay, so we're going to go ahead and fold. It about three quarters of an inch so almost an inch we're going to fold it just like this just enough space and we're going to go ahead and glue right here can take your trusty glue, gun, don't burn yourself as too much take your trusty glue, gun And we're going to go ahead and glue it, and obviously I put too much my glue gun was camera shy? Okay, so we're going to go ahead and wait for that to dry. While we wait for that to dry we're going to go ahead and do our second piece, this is just one in that you're folding. That way, only one end: you will fold this way, so we're going to go ahead and do the same thing to the other side, I'm going to go ahead and glue that there we go we're going to go ahead and wait for them to dry. Just a few seconds - and I put too much glue on that one: okay, once you're dry you're, going to take your two pieces and we're going to go ahead and start the actual braiding you're going to take the first one, whichever one you want and we're going To put it inside see how that comes out. That'S the beginning! There we go now we're going to do the same thing. Now we're going to go ahead and take the other side but you're going to make your own loop you're not going to glue anything from here on out. We don't use a glue gun until we're done. Okay, so you're going to take it you're, going to make a little another little loop, you're going to put it inside the next color. You see how I'm making that little loop and then you're going to pull down here to make it a little tight and then you're going to pull at the top. Now you have to make it tight or your bun and wrap is going to be very loose. So here's what it looks like that's here we go see how it looks like that's going to be your in pieces. Look now from here on out you're going to do the same thing. It'S basically repetitive, so you're going to take it in bring it up, pull the other one down to make it tight not too tight that you're folding it over. You still need it to be flat. So don't do this, don't let it fold over like that. You want it to be nice and flat, just nice and tight, and we're going to do the same thing over and over pull it tight over and over pull it tight over and over. These are a great addition to your shops. There'S so many things you can do with them. Besides, a bun wrap, I've seen them on the bows hanging down. I'Ve seen them with bun wraps hanging down loose, they put extra ones, so this braiding is so cute. I really like it, and this is a medium size for the 33 inches of your three eighths ribbon. This is a medium-sized bun. Now, if you need it larger for the girls with the thicker hair and with the big buns, I usually do about 37 inches I'll. Go ahead and do a chart and put it in the comments put it in the bottom. That way, you all can see it just after I load this give me a moment to load the chart. So then, we're just doing the same thing over and over again, and you know what I do so that you don't even notice you don't even need to be sitting at your desk. All you need to do is cut a whole bunch of pieces yeah, whatever the link that you're using small, medium or large, like i said i'll, go ahead and put the link, i mean the the actual sorry, the little ones trying to get into my my recording I'Ll go ahead and put the sizes of the lengths, depending on the bun length. You need i'll go to and put that in the comments and but basically, if you cut a whole bunch of them all, you need your lighter and before you sit down just google them all at one time sit down with a basket before you know it. You'Ll have 10 to 15 done i'll. Do that you know you get tired of sitting at your desk all the time, because we're working we're sitting or cities. You know. Sometimes you just want to you just want to move around or you want to sit with the family. You want to be part of the family as crafters. We all know so I think it's great to just take it, and obviously you know I I'm having a hard time talking and working at the same time, I'll God, Lord those who know me it's a miracle. I can chew, gum and walk at the same time. Okay, so we're coming to the end and we're almost done, but I love making these there's so much fun and look at how quick. I didn't even pause, the video to finish it. I mean we just we're just doing it and it's still not long video. So we're almost at the end, as you can see, one is a little shorter than the other, even though you cut them the same so you're not going to make a loop there you're going to bring it up. Now I'm going to fold this down and glue it, but before I do that, I'm going to heat seal. So here we guard trusty glue, gun, we're going to fold, careful, don't burn yourself. I don't have my fake nails right now, so I'm letting my fingers heal my nails heal their horrible right now. So I forget that I don't have my nails and I've burned myself many many many many times so we're going to cut the other side with that beautiful Texas season coming in the window. Okay, the last side we're going to go ahead and glue that hold it down for a few seconds while it dries try not to burn yourself and there look what a beautiful wrap you have look at. How amazing that looks so you're finishing touches once you add, the bows you desire will all depend on what you're going to put on it. That'S how it's going to look, so these are fabulous on the hair. You can make them as cheer for to your style with little cheer bows at the end. Like I said, the possibilities are endless. I love these so thanks for watching my tutorial. Bye,
