Fabric Bow



These bows are super easy to make and look really cute on new babies or older todlers which ever you prefer. They really only take maybe 5 minutes.

 

 

SUPPLIES:

Material

Sissors

Needle

Thread

 

 

Step 1: cut out a strip of fabric. Now this may change depeding on your style and how big or small you want the bow. I cut mine 7 inches by 2 inches. Then cut out a smaller strip which will go around the center of the bow i cut mine 5 inches by 1/4 of an inch.



Now fold your fabric so they over lap a little bit and then sew a loose stich up the middle. Make sure to go through the front of the fabric as well not just the back. (pictures below)

 

 

Now pull the thread tight so it scrunches up the middle and tie it off.

 

 

Now you wrap the smaller strip you cut around the middle to hide the stich. and you can either hot glue it on there or sew the back with a few stiches to keep it on there either way.

 

* what i did was lay my bow on to a headband ( I crochet all my headbands but I am sure it would work with the elastic headbands you buy also) then i wrap the smaller strip around my bow and my headband and that is how i attach the bow to the headband and then stich the back with 2 stiches just to keep it on. That way if i want to change headbands or something i can just cut the strip in the middle and it wont ruin my bow.
