Hi everyone and welcome back to bitty bum boutique TV. Today, I'm going to show you how to make this very simple. What some call a tuxedo bow, but it's just a very easy and simple hair bow that you can make if making loops scares you and or if you've tried it, you can't figure it out. This is a much easier, though, that you can make so what you're going to need is one-and-a-half inch, grosgrain, ribbon and you're going to need that cut eight inches long. You need another piece. This is about six inches, almost six inches for the middle, and then I have a lined alligator clip, but you can choose whatever kind of clip you would like so you're going to take your eight inch piece of broken ribbon. I'Ve already heat, sealed my ends and you're going to fold it in half and make a nice crease right in the middle. Now you could leave it like that, but I like to just take my pencil and go over that line, so I can see it easier and you're not going to see it when you're done making the bow so alright. So then you take your glue, gun and you're going to just put a line of glue right next to where your pencil mark is and fold one side in press down. Just like that and then you're going to do the other side and just have it meet right up now. After sometimes this doesn't stick because it's you're not using very much glue so then just add a little more okay and then you don't want to overlap. You just want to put it right next to it, so it makes it flat you're just meeting it in the middle. You don't want to overlap. Your two ends. Okay, so I press that down make sure your glue is secure, so you should have. This piece looks like that the sides are even and then what you're going to do is you're going to you're going to flip it over. So this is the side where you, your crease, your ends meet flip it over to where it's smooth and then you're just going to fold it in half and all this is this glue? I'M not going to use any wire, you could use wire, but it is easier just to use glue. So I'm kind of looking to make sure I have those bright too in the middle so they're, even where my creases are or where my ends meet. So it looks like that, like that, so now I'm going to put a piece of a piece, a dot of glue right inside there, just a small dot and squeeze it together. Now you don't want you just want it at the very bottom. You don't want it up here because we're going to fold these down, you just want to at the very bottom and then, like I just said, then you're going to fold both sides down just like that, and then in the back. You can see where your line is of where they meet. Where you you know started, so you just want to kind of make sure that's all one line like they're all you know centered, because that's going to make your loops even okay. So once you have that, where you want it, we're going to put some more glue inside these two sides and squeeze together. So it's an accordion fold but you're just gluing each step, that's just going to make it stay together easier when you put the center on so instead of gluing, you could use wire, but for some reason it seems to stay more, even if you just use glue. Okay, so then, when you flip it over, this is what you should have. So that's what the bow is going to look like and now we're just going to add our Center. I'M going to use a polka dotted Center, so you're going to flip it back over to the back, put a dot of glue and then attach your center piece of ribbon right there, okay and then I'm going to put some more glue before I wrap that around. I put more glue and then attach my alligator clip right to that now. This is the way I do it, because now my ribbon is actually going to be wrapped. So now you're going to wrap it's going to be a wrapped around the alligator clip instead of just glued to it. So it's just a little more secure, so you wrap it. You actually wrap it around twice so that you have that security. Put that put another piece of glue and push that down so you're opening. You know your clip so that you don't glue it closed and just trim that piece off. So I probably you don't need as much bear centerpiece and then, if you like to heat seal that end can and there you nice, simple, quick, easy hair, bow, no looping and making sure your loops are even much easier to make stay tuned and I'll. Show you how to make a different bow with the same technique.

carla togneri: Muito bonito! Mas vcs deveriam usar uma régua ou outra coisa para mostrar" as medidas, para que todos entendam direito !♡
Bitty Bum Boutique TV: I would really recommend a hot glue gun. Definitley not crazy glue but you could try some kind of craft glue (tacky glue) but it will not hold quickly so it could take you a while to make the bow. You can find cheap little glue guns at the craft store or Walmart that will work fine.
DuanaDesigns: great vid! but one question what is the name of the tool to heat seal the ends? thx

Marijane Q: what type of glue gun do you have? i HATE mine, its just one of the minis from walmart. i am in love with yours.

Sofia Amber: We don't have to use her exact measurements do we and amazing now tutorial
Anuja Ambardekar: To make small size bow of this kind how much inches ribbon should I take ?
Stacey Batista: can we use regular clue ?
Bitty Bum Boutique TV: I order mine either online from RibbonsAndBowsOhMy or The Riboon Retreat. I have also bought them at Sally's Beauty Supplies, but I like them from the online sites better.
