How To Make Loopy Hair Bow - Easy To Follow Instructions

I'M gon na have to show you how to make this gorgeous bow now, I'm using colors for Halloween, because I'm filming this in October. So look at the ribbons that I've chosen. We have black and then pumpkins and then some orange and mock again. You can use whatever ribbons you like all different kinds, I'm also going to add in some of this yarn see this year you can have, and some of that, if you'd like you, can also get fabric and just cut a strip of fabric, the same width is This about 7/8 inch. You just need to make sure you have enough of it and if it's not long enough, you'd have to sew the two pieces together, but that's another option: if you don't have enough ribbon, so we're gon na get started. I'M going to show you a couple other things you need. You need some great thread. You need a French barrette. You need a pair of scissors. You probably need something to measure with if you don't left on the video and then a hot glue gun. So now we can get started up to gather all your materials now. The first thing you need to do is just pop this Center out of your French barrette, okay, and then just put that aside now, what we're gon na do is go ahead and just line up all of our ribbon, one on top of the other. So just get these all lined up whichever ones you're using and then push them all off to the same side, keep them on the Roll and just have them piled up. Okay, now that I'll have all my ribbons, a nice straight pop, I'm using five different kinds of ribbons, you can double up and use the exact same one a couple times if you wanted to, but you don't need to okay. Now I'm going to leave just about two inches and we're gon na place this on the end. Now it doesn't matter which end you want to start with either. One is fine and I like just to put a dab of hot glue down right at the end. So at least that bottom layer stays in place just while I'm working here so just a DAB. Obviously all the layers aren't going to stay stay, put grab your piece of thread, you're, going to need a lot of this and you're need to hold it really tightly. So, first, what I'm gon na do is just wrap this right around the end to secure all the ribbon to the barrette and I'm making a really tight knot. This is really important because you want this to stay okay, so once you have your ribbon straight and lined up on the end of there and wrapped around to hold tight you're going to continue to use this threat. Okay, so you want to make sure that this is really tight as we're gon na wrap. It now take your layers. Keep them lined up on top of each other as much as possible and just fold it over and make a loop okay. So we have a loop right there. Now you want it to be about two inches. That'S good enough! Now we're gon na take our thread and just wrap it around. Let me change hand since I'm right-handed to do the wrapping okay and then just try to keep these lined up as nicely as possible. There'S our loop and then we're just gon na wrap this okay. So you want it to be pretty tight, see how I'm just wrapping it and do it multiple times at least three times. It'S probably good one more okay now hold this really tight with your hands. Now we're gon na make sure this is straight again and then do another loop, okay and then just make sure it's the same size as our first loop. You can put your fingers in there or just kind of eyeball it. They don't have to be perfect if you're selling them. I suggest that you do do it perfectly. It'S coming nice to have a nice even loop. Okay, a little bit more see, I'm just pulling it till they're. The exact same size now take this thread that we've been holding tightly and then wrap it around. At the base of that loop takes a little bit of maneuvering. Okay there we go just wrap it around. Now I'm going to keep doing this till I have the entire barrette filled with these loops now make sure that you push them down, squeeze them together and push them down to get as many loops as possible on there. So I have this here. I'M going to loop it up I'm running out of room here on the end, but I like to make as many as possible right up on there hold them all in place and wrap it one two three times as soon as you're done with that loop push. It down towards the other loops, and then you have room to make more so yeah. I probably still have room for two or three more on there and I just have an inch lap. So I'm going to continue and then show you how to finish it off. Okay, so once you do the last loop, you want to just make sure it's really really tight, because this is where it's gon na stay on the end there, and then we just need to tie it off now we can go ahead and flip this over and Cut off the tail the same length as our other side that we started with so just a couple: inches cut it off and we're almost ready. Now all you need to do with this is just fluff out your loops, just separate all your loops as best that you can and you're all set. Now, if you want to cut the tails on angles, you can go ahead and do that cut them on an angle. Just make sure you heat seal, all your ends and your fun loopy Bo, perfect for Halloween or, of course, remember use any other color ribbon that you like for any holiday or any occasion. This is how you make a great loopy bow now. One thing that I do want to show you that I've seen with some of these loopy boats that I thought was really cool. If you wanted another idea, what you can do is take these loops and cut them in half, okay and then just cut the ends on an angle. You see that so you can have some fun pieces sticking out. So what I'm going to do is do that with all of my black ribbon here, the skinnier black ribbon, I'm just gon na cut it at an angle. So I have some different looks to this. So that's really cool. If you're going to be selling these, you want to have some different options or just for your little girl. Beware, you don't always want to have the same loopy bow so just another way that you can do it. It'S not adorable! You
