Boutique Hair Bow Tutorial

Today we are going to do a video tutorial on the cute little boutique style. Not this particular bow. I'M going to do a Christmas one, but the little boutique bow that'll have the spikes on it. So I did pretty prep and I'm doing some bling on mine. So I went ahead and glued those on the pieces that I cut each other thing. I'M going to show you right, quick how you cut the triangles or the points on there. You take your ribbon and you'll fold it in half and then you just cut it and then you need to make sure all cut edges on the ribbon are heat? Sealed you don't run the lighter on it very long, but you do want to run it on there and you'll feel it'll leave like a lip on there. After you heat seal it and you need to heat seal all of your pieces of ribbon. Okay for the main bow I'm gon na use white and then this is going to be an accent. So you want to take your main piece and you want to fold it in half. I'Ve already done that I have the center marked and since I'm using this as an accident ribbon, I want to put the white on top of that. So now we're going to take this in and I'm gon na fold it in and just hold it in place, grab the other end and you're also going to turn and fold it down on top of each other. You want to grab these see your line. You want to go straight over your line Center it up over the top of your line and hold it with your finger. Your thumb pull this taut. You just go right over to the center, then you're going to pull this side taut. It also goes over the center hold them together. I get these clips at Sally's Beauty Supply. So that's what I use, because I can't sew and all that other crap, that people do to make their bit are their bows. You can put it and you're going to wan na flip it over. This is going to be the top part of your bow, and this is what I use to tie it. It'S just the cheap little spools of really thin ribbon from Walmart, then cut me a piece you're gon na put it down through here and also through the top flip it over and then you're going to tie, and you want to double knot. This part, which it really tight: okay, yeah flip your bow back over now, fluff it up see. I already have your bow. Now we can work on the spikes I'm doing for spikes. In the background on the ribbon to make this sized ribbon, the white and the red both were 21 inches long. These are about six inches and I kind of like compare it to the bow, and I think it looks good. So you want to keep the spikes between five and six inches, I'm going to take one piece and I'm using two different kinds of accent ribbon. So I'm gon na put that here, you're gon na lay another one over the top. You use your other one, I'm gon na go this way this one in the last one push down in the center, so you can get underneath to lift it all up, and this is the same way. Take your clip, put it over all your layers. I think these are your ribbon again. You'Re gon na put it through think over again and you're going to knot it. Okay, this one you can cut off because you're not going to need it, but if you notice on twisted to get it flat, you notice on the bow. I left it back there, that's so that we can tie it all together. Okay, so now that you have this part done, you want to take some hot glue and dab a little in the center. We'Re going to take your bow, make sure you have one ribbon top one ribbon bottom, I'm gon na put that over the center line. It all up flip it over and we're gon na tie these bad boys together. Once you get that tied together, you can put your ribbon, pull your spikes back just bottom and then for the accent for the center. Your mother kind of sparkly ribbon. You add a dab back here, hold it and I'm gon na wrap it around twice, because this is kind of shear and see-through. So I wrap it around, put your spikes back so that they're flat and then you're going to want to glue the end piece. Flip up you go do what you got to do and then, before you finish it off you're, going to take a piece of felt. I try to do coordinating color you gon na glue the felt down on the back and for this one I'm using an alligator tooth clip and I'm just going to glue it right on there when you flip it over you flip it up, make it all pretty There you go, that is your boutique beau and cute little and decorated, and again, if you want to go over the sizes of the ribbon, the main ribbon part that does this part of the the bow itself is 21 inches long and then the spikes each one Of these spikes is between five and six inches. It depends on how big this bow is. Is to how big you want your spike. So if you have a bigger bow on top you're, of course, going to want longer spikes, then I buy all of this stuff online. You can buy it at Joanne's when it's on sale to use with your bling and stuff, like that, you can also use buttons. All kinds of buttons, so there you go. I hope this helps
