Welcome students: this is your senpai supreme thunder and today we're gon na learn the secret to making big anime hair bows, a small amount of fabric, some iron on interfacing, a ruler, a chopstick, some pins scissors, hot glue gun and an iron. Once you decided how big you want your bow to be cut two rectangles from your fabric about that size, in my case, five by eight and also a smaller rectangle, in this case five by two and a half, once you have your rectangles of fabric, also cut A slightly smaller rectangle of interfacing lay your interfacing shiny side down. You want to make sure that the adhesive side is on your fabric, smooth on the interfacing until you can feel it adhering your make them sort of an interfacing sandwich. So you've got right side fabric to the right side of the fabric and then over here your interfacing pin it together and head over to the sewing machine. Start your stitch in about the middle of the bow you'll need to leave a gap here, so you can turn the whole thing inside out when you're done. So it was a straight stitch and pivot. When you reach the corners, make sure that you catch the interfacing as well as the fabric when you sew, when you get to the end, remember to leave that gap after you're done sewing 10 the corners. So they'll look nice! When you turn the boat inside out, using the gap that you created carefully push the bowl inside out, lose your chopstick to push the corners out and make them more pointy. Be careful not to poke a hole in the interfacing. Take your small rectangle and fold it in half lengthwise, so this along the raw edge end to end now, if you have a tube, you can turn it inside out. The chopstick comes in handy for this too. They now have a little round tube that you use for your bow. Connector remember the gap that was left from turning the bow inside out we're gon na close it up now with your hot glue, you can also use hand sewing well how cool is a lot faster. More comedic now put some hot glue in the middle of the bow and pull it in half we're gon na make two more fold to give it a nice perfect ruffle in the middle. Now that you have it glued together in the middle puts newer lines of hot glue on the outside, like that and flip it once and flip it twice. Today'S theme we folded it like an accordion. I'Ve decided. I want this to be the front of my home. So start by gluing, the connector near the cot and then we'll wrap it all the way around and hide the raw edge seal. The end of the tube with hot glue and wash your fingers secure it near the front of the book, wrap it around. You can trim it to size if you need and we'll turn it under to make it look nicer, whoops and finally secure it to the rest of the boat. There you have it. These phones are very versatile. You can make different sizes for different purposes slip and read them through it. Tie it in your hair, blew it to a hair, clip decorating around the house, use a safety pin to attach it to any costume or simply annoying your cats. Thanks for joining me today enjoy your ridiculous bow and, as always, do your best
