Unicorn Die Cut Hair Bow Tutorial. How To Make Hair Bows. Diy Hair Bows Tutorial Laços De Fita:

Hello guys i've got this new unicorn die set. I got this from aliexpress i'll pop a link to products use in the description below this video so check these out. So with this die set, you get the loops two loops, the ears and the tails and the unicorn horn, but you don't get their little eyes and i do like to add little eyes on my unicorn bows, especially if you're doing like all the other features, like The ears, so i've got this other little tiny unicorn die, set, which i made the unicorn head template for and, as you can see, that's a lot smaller than this one, a tiny little unicorn headset. So but this came with the eyes, which will be perfect to go with this template as well, so that's really handy to have this little set just for these little eyelash dyes. You can use these on your christmas bows when you make like reindeer bows. You can use these eyelashes. These are really handy to have so i do recommend getting this little die set just for these eyes. If anything. So again, i will link all of these. In the description below the video, now i've picked out a few fabrics ready. I'Ve got a couple of felts. This black glitter felt is what i'm going to use for the eyelashes. This is what i'm going to use for the top layer of the ears, because it's a nice, fluffy pink felt and then i've got a chunky rainbow glitter. This plain pink. I chose because that brings out the pink in the rainbow glitter and then i've got this mirror leatherette and that's a really pretty pink iridescent color. So these are all the fabrics we're going to use for our bow, i'm just taking my template apart. I'Ll just show you, while i've got it out, because these don't come with any instructions. So basically you just give these a little wiggle from these little tabs and they'll break away like that. So there your ears and then these little pieces. Obviously, you don't need so. I'Ve just got my tweezers here and i'll just grab that give that a twist and then these little bits you can bin. Now, i'm not quite going to fit all of this on, but just to show you i've got a cuttlebug die cut machine. I'Ve had this over 10 years now i bought this originally to do card making. That is what i used to love doing, but i've kept it and has come in very handy for my bow templates that comes with these plates, an a and a b and a thicker one, the thicker one you need for the aliexpress dies. So basically, you use the thicker white plate at the bottom and then a b plate, and then you pop your fabric and your die in and then you use this thicker plate. As you can see, the b plate is thinner, i'll use the thicker plate to sandwich the dye in and that just helps give more pressure on these thinner dies, and this is an a5 cutting machine. Most of the newer machines that you buy nowadays uh a4 size, but my cutting plates are in a5, but the aliexpress dies are all around a5 size, so they're perfect for this machine. First of all, i'm going to take the pink glitter and i'm going to do the bigger loops. So obviously i can't fit this through my machine, so i'll lay this on my fabric and i'll cut enough fabric out to run through my machine. So i laid my die on my pink fabric and i've cut a rough shape out, so i don't waste too much fabric and then that way i can fit it through my machine. So i lay that, on top of the white plate and the b plate, i'll just bring that out a little bit further. Sorry, that's hard to see. We are at a bit of an awkward camera angle here the camera's a bit close to my desk to fit everything in and then you pop the thicker plate over the top making sure that's lined up on the fabric, and then i turn my handle to take That, through the machine, i'm just going to place my hand on the top, because you don't want your fingers going through, because that will hurt and then what i do. Is i like to take that through a couple of times, just to make sure that's cut all the way through? Because this is a chunky, glitter fabric? And then you just out remove the top plate? And then, when you take the die off as you can see, that is cut right through that glitter fabric and there are your loops, so i'm going to now do the same with all my other shapes my ears, my tails, my eyes. So we've got all the little shapes cut out for our bow, so here we have all our little pieces cut out our eyelashes, our horn loops, the ears, the tails and i've cut out two horn, because i want to bag this with felt. So this is a stiffer felt, this pink one and i'm just gon na back this horn. So when it stands up, that's not too flimsy. This is actually quite a sturdy fabric to be fair, i'm just going to give it that little bit more security by backing it, and i've also got some little gems here, which i'm going to embellish my little horn with, because it looks quite plain, even though it's A gorgeous fabric, i just want to add some little details, some little gems on there, so i've got a hot glue gun here, warmed up and we're going to start gluing our bow together. I'Ll just show you the size of these loops. To begin with. That'S not the biggest bow, these loops are 10 centimeters wide, both of them and the tails are six centimeters wide or just over. Two inches was not a massive bow, but with all the ears and the horn that does look a bigger size than what it actually is, so we're going to assemble our bow. So, first of all we're going to do the loops now. This part, you could either layer on and wrap it all the way around. The bow like that, i'm going to do them as separate loops to sit on the top and i've just cut a little tiny strip of the pink glitter out to wrap around the center. Usually, when you make bows you do this last after you've added it to the tails, but because we've got the horn in the ears to attach. We need to do this part now to assemble. These two first then wrap this center around that middle. Next, we're going to add our horn, but we need to back up with the felt first. So i'm going to start with the top of the horn so place the glue on this top half. And then i'm just going to hold this part in place because i'm still quite wet. While i stick this bottom half down and then i'm just going to run my lighter around the edge to get rid of any of those fluffy felt pieces and then we're going to attach this to the back of our bow. So i'm just going to place a little bit of glue across the bottom here and then we need to go with our ears, so we're going to glue the ears the inner ears onto the outer part of the ear. So again, i'm going to just do the bottom part first do like that, and then we can attach that onto the back as well. So i'm just going to run the glue along this bottom part. So, as you can see it's around halfway up the bow, i'm going to pop my fingers in the loops just to push that down to the glue, because i don't want to flatten the loops. So i'm just popping my little finger inside the loops to help push that down, and then we can pop that onto our the glue on tails. I'M gon na run my lighter around this because when i took it out with a die cut machine and weeded it out, it's left a little fluffy edge, so i'm just gon na get rid of that. First, just tidies it up and gives it a neater finish. Now, obviously, i've done my tails at the bottom. You could put them in front of the ears if you want, but i wanted mine at the bottom, but that's completely up to you. This die don't come with any instructions. So that's why i want to do you. This tutorial just to show you how it all goes together if you choose to buy one, so that is how i've done it personally so now we can add our clip and obviously we're not going to have anything wrapped around the sentence. We'Ll show you how i do that to make sure that that's secure, so i've pre-lined, a 45 millimeter double prong clip with some 10 millimeter wide ribbon and i'm just going to pop some glue on the back of there and pop it. Under my tails. On my bow, so this is what we've got so far so to make sure my bow is securely on my clip, because we haven't got that piece wrapped around the center. I'Ve free-handedly cut this square i'll, show you the measurements, it's two centimeters by one and a half centimeters, so i've cut out this rectangle free hand and we're going to stick that on the back of our bow. So i'm sticking it up slightly higher because if you have it sticking down underneath you're going to see it, but if you have it higher, that's not going to matter because you've got all this hiding it up. So i'm going to pop it a little bit higher. So i'm going to place some glue along the bottom first and stick that part across the clip and then this part is what's going to stick to that bow. I know it's not much, but felt does stick really well with hot glue. So while i do that, just for that little bit of extra security, you can push that unicorn horn back as well into that felt. So it looks like this. This is the front of the bone. As you can see, you can't see that felt. That'S hidden. Now. You could leave it like this, but i'm going to embellish my bow even further, so we've got our eyelashes to add on so to do that, i'm going to use this uhu all-purpose glue. You could use hot glue because these eyelashes are so fine. I think that'll. Just be a bit of a mess if you use hot glue on these, so that is why i'm using the uhu glue. So i've got a piece of paper here and i'm going to pop some of my uhu glue onto my paper and then using some tweezers. They can show us the glitter side up, i'm going to dip my eyelashes in the uhu glue. This dries clear. This uhu glue, so any all-purpose glue, will be fine to use as long as it dries clear and then i'm going to just place it on my top layer and with this glue, because it's it doesn't dry straight away. You can play with those eyelashes and put them into place where you want them before that dries and then we're going to do the same with the other one. So there we have our eyes our sleeping unicorn eyes and now we're going to add these little embellishments. Here, i'm going to move that paper to one side. I'Ve got these gorgeous iridescent resin gems. I got these from aliexpress and they really sparkle when they catch the light, and i'm going to use these on my horn here so to stick these and i need another glue. My gemstone glue excuse the state of the bottle that is very old. I'Ve had it a while, but you only need a tiny little bit so it lasts ages. And then i do need a pin for this, because it does tend to get a little bit blocked up at the end. So we're going to stick a gem right at the very top. So with this glue you take your gem, i'm just gon na clean the black bits of fluff off there and you pop it onto the glue. But you don't want to push it into the glue too hard you just kind of lay it on there. That takes a good 24 hours to set this glue once that's set. That holds gems absolutely brilliantly. So i highly recommend this glue and next we're going to go a little bit of the way down and we're going to do two gems. Now you can leave your bow like this, but i'm feeling the need for some flowers. So i've got these little mulberry flowers. These are all from aliexpress as well, and i've cut five off because i like to work in odd numbers. As a rule, they say that odd number is just more pleasing to the eye than having an even number of embellishments. So i'm going for five. So i'm going to start with this lovely blue color in the middle i'm just going to tuck that little stem where i cut it off back, you can't take it out completely because that's what this little center piece is joined to and i am going to place Some glue on that bottom. Actually, i'm going to use my tweezers because i don't want to burn my fingers place that in the hot glue gun - and this is going to be in the very center i'm going to pop - that in the middle there and then i'm going to go for two. Yellow ones, next to that, i'm just going to move this one back a bit and tuck that in next to it carefully then do another yellow on the opposite side to the blue. Again, i'm just going to tuck that blue back a little bit just tuck, that in next to it making sure that's level and then we're going to do two pink either side do and there you have your finished unicorn hair bow. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you've got any questions pop them into the comments below and i'll do my best to get back to you, thank you for watching bye,
