Fall/Halloween Hairbow Tutorial

I have 3 girls who love having fun hairbows.  I have looked all over for fun themed bows, clips, etc.  I haven’t been real happy with what I have found and they want crazy amounts for what they do carry.  I remember years ago my mom making me hairbow, barrettes and other hair things.  I figured I could do the same for my girls.  I went rummaging for my ribbons, hairclips, glue gun and other items I could use as decor

Here’s what I found:

~ start with a hair barrette and cover it with a scrap piece of ribbon cut to the size of the clip.  hot glue it down

~cut 4 pieces of ribbon 6 inches long (these will be the loops)

~place a little dot of hot glue on the end of the ribbon place the other end over the glue and hold down for a few secs, then place a small dot of glue on the center of glued ends and hold ribbon together(i used a sheer ribbon so the glue oozed through my layers making it a little eaiser and not using alot of glue) place a dot of glue onto center of clip and place ribbon center down hold for a few secs:

~repeat glueing ends of second ribbon and glue center down to give you 2 loops on either end.  Place small dot of glue down onto center of ribbon on clip and place second loop on making a cross:

~if you wish cut 9inches of 1/4in ribbon for strimmers I used black, white, brown, orange, burnt orange and glued the centers down:

~make 3rd loop and glue on the angle in between cross:(picture is shown without strimmers so you can see the loops better)

~make 4th and final loop and glue down on the other angle in between other ends of cross:

~then glue on the pumpkin (or button, figure, shape of your choice):

I made one for each  of my girls.  They were easy to make and came together rather quickly (great naptime project)

enjoy!!
