Hey guys today, we're gon na be making this pinwheel bow. So let's go ahead and get started now. I'M gon na be using this ribbon here. This is a 1.5 inch wide ribbon and this is a 3/8 of an inch ribbon. So this piece here I cut to about 28 inches, and this piece is about 5 inches you're. Also gon na be reading a piece of craft wire. This is about 4 inches long, so make sure you also have you know something to cut it with. So these are just basic wire cutters here and, of course, you'll need. A pair of scissors you'll need your heat, sealer and a glue gun. So let's go ahead and get started. The first step is to heat seal all the ends of our ribbon. I'M gon na go ahead and do that first now, for this style bow, we are gon na be doing some looping, but don't worry it's gon na be super easy, so, first off we're going to start with one of our tails here. So we're just going to call our ends here, our tails, so one of the tails is gon na stay in the back at all times, so I'm just gon na wrap the ribbon across the frontier tail in the back. So we know that that's gon na stay in the back there and I'm just gon na wrap the ribbon back up now. This thumb here is gon na, be our holder thumb, so that is just gon na be pinching down the little layers we're gon na be doing so. I'M just going to take this piece of ribbon here and slip it in between that first loop, just the edge of it, so we don't need to have all the way in there just on along the edge just enough where you can kind of pinch down with That some and we're gon na wrap this end back around and we're gon na keep these pretty even and just go ahead and lift up that thumb and pinch down again holding up holding that piece of the ribbon in place. We just don't want any sliding around too much and then I'm going to just gon na take this in here our tail, our last tail and just wrap that back around now. You should have a very basic kind of look like this right now. So we've got two loops and we got two tails both of our tails are in the back, so the back is looking just like this okay, so we've got our two tails so now we're just gon na go ahead and start our our folds or our creases. So, holding down with your thumb, go ahead and just make a crease in the center there and then fold back on itself and then fold back on itself, Lincoln, okay, so we're kind of doing an accordion fold. Now we're just gon na keep that pinched and I'm gon na grab our little piece of craft wire and we're just gon na go ahead and wrap this around, and this is gon na hold our Center. Instead of a hot gluing, you could hot glue that down, but it might be pretty slippery because of the way the folds are. So it's kind of easier just to go ahead and use craft wire. Another option would be to sew it, but again because of the folds, it is pretty slippery, so just go ahead and wrap your craft wire around it, and you want that first pinch to really get a grip there. So you can get a good beginning to your wrap, so we're just wrapping that crap wire all the way around until we run out, they come to the very end and just press those ends down, so it stays nice and tight. If you want to find out a little bit pinch it down a bit alright, so this is how we're looking right now craft wire is wrapped all the way around finish down the ends. So there's no pokey pieces and we are going to be working on the front here. So this is our front right where our tails are and that's the back and I'm gon na go ahead and take my scissors and trim our tails. So, instead of just cutting like you know, one edge how we do on some bows: we're gon na go ahead and fold our tail in half like this, and I'm going to cut diagonally from the ends. Okay, so these are the outer. These are the little outer pieces here, and this is the center of the tail, so I'm just going to cut up this way. Alright, so there's one of our tails and we're gon na do the same thing on this side just go ahead and make a little crease cut diagonally. It just gives it kind of a fancier kind of more fun. Well, pinwheel sort of look. I want to cut our tails, I'm go ahead and heat seal those we definitely don't want those frame. So this is how we're looking now and I'm just gon na go ahead and sit down our bow. We'Re gon na work on the middle mount, so I'm taking our 3/8 of a ribbon here at this little five inch piece and I'm gon na flip. Our bow over to the back and I'm gon na. Take my hot glue, gun and add just a little dollop of glue right on the back there and I'm gon na take the end of our ribbon. You just press that right over it. Next, I'm gon na tie a little knot just below where we glued down our ribbon there, and it does matter if you do this before or after. If you want to do it before you can sometimes I just find that this is easier, because I can see the position of where it's gon na be going pretty easily, so we're just gon na scoot that knot right next to where the hot glue is okay. So we're just below there just gon na make that well, you know, as as pretty as you can that's gon na, be going in the front, I'm just gon na kind of flatten it out of bed. So we're looking like that and I'm going to wrap it around the front. Also, we've got our knot right in the center there, I'm just gon na flip our bow over and I'm gon na grab my hair tight. Now, if you want, you can use a hair clip an alligator clip whatever you prefer. I'M just going to here tie this time and these make really cute ponytail bows too. So that's why I think I want to use the hair tie, so I'm gon na just add a little dollop of blue right on the back there right on that little piece of ribbon and we shall attach our hair tie and if you were using a hair, Clip you would just do it basically, the exact same way just gon na hold that there for a minute and let that glue set once the glue has had a chance to set just go ahead and add another little dollop of glue right over the hair tie And then grab your little tail here from the centerpiece and just pull it tight and wrap it right around the glue and the hair tie now get a little bit extra ribbon here. So I'm just going to go ahead and trim that up and I'm gon na go ahead and heat seal. That and we're add our last little bit of glue right on the end there just to hold that down our hair tight is secure and all that's left is just to fluff up your belt, so I just grab these little loops on the side and just kind Of pull those away from each other, this kind of helps press them up so separating them just kind of gives a you know: it adds to that kind of pinwheel effect. So I just pull the tails more vertically and your pinwheel bow is all done and ready to wear. So I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you in the next video bye
