How To Make A Layered Boutique Hair Bow (Part 1 Of 3)

Welcome bow makers to bitty bum boutique TV and today I'm gon na be showing you how to make this layered boutique hair bow. This is actually going to be a three-part bow, so I'm gon na do it in three segments. So there'll be three videos short videos that you can watch instead of just one really long one. So, first, let's get started with what we're gon na need. Some scissors we're gon na need some wire and then I also have separate scissors to cut my wire, because I don't like to use the scissors that I cut my ribbon with for my wire, because it does dull them quickly, and this is 26 gauge. Just silver. Like floral wire have a pair pliers, a lighter you're gon na need your clip of choice and, since I'm using an alligator clip, we're gon na be lining that alligator clip a piece of ribbon for the two loop bow. This is 7/8 inch wide ribbon and it is cut to 10 inches long and we're going to need some 1 and 1/2 inch wide ribbon cut to 29 inches long and it doesn't have to be printed, but it can and then again I'm using 7/8 inch wide Ribbon because I'm going to make a knot for the center of my bow and then, of course, your glue gun. Does this look leucon, I use its sure Bhandar brand and it has a really fine tip. I love this glue gun cuz, just a small about amount of glue comes out when you use it. So let's get started first with our first step and that's going to be to make the two loop bow that you see here on top. So this is going to be our topper bow and what you're gon na do is you're, going to start out like you're, making a regular hair bow and so you're making like a figure eight, so we're gon na have your ribbon out and you're gon na fold. This piece over to the top and let's actually make a crease because that's going to make it easier so we're gon na make a crease so that you know where the middle is and if you want to mark it, I'm going to mark it. So you guys can see you can mark it if you want, but you don't have to, but I'm gon na mark it on this one. So you can see where my middle is so. This piece is gon na you're, not gon na fold. It straight over you're gon na kind of angle it in the middle like that and then you're gon na. Take your other side and do the same thing. You don't want to just fold it straight over you're gon na kind of turn it and meet it up at the same angle as your other piece and so that Center mark is going to help you get right in the middle there. Okay, so that's that's the fold I'm going to do that again and first, I'm gon na heat seal my in ends here so that that's already done and easy to get out of the way have my piece of wire ready to wrap it? Okay. So, let's do that one more time you're gon na fold over and over, so that you have this figure, eight type look and then I'm actually gon na flip it over before I wrap fold and wrap because now I don't really want that on the front that Part on this end, so I'm gon na flip it to the other side and then fold and we're gon na accordion fold and we're gon na fold, push down and then push the two sides down like that, so that you have so now. You should have two creases facing up, and then the backside has one crease and then we're just gon na wrap our wire around the center, like that, once you have, it make sure it looks even looks good and then this is where I use my pliers and I just pull the wire tight on the back and then cut off my extra, and then I always like to take my pliers and flatten. My centers just helps them stay nice and secure, plus it makes it easier to wrap the center around. So that is the first step. This is the two loop bow and you could stop there and add a Center and a clip, and that would be a really cute boat. We'Re gon na move on to step two so check out part two video to see the the bottom layer of this boat.
