DIY|Cute Hair Bows!

As mentioned in previous posts, I am making a DIY post on how to make some cute hair bows like this one:

Apologies in advance I was doing this on a long train journey, so the lighting varies...

What you need:

• Scraps of material (17"x10" and 5"x7")


• Needle and thread
  or


• A hot glue gun

I used some of the material left over from making my pinafore here

Step 1:

Take the larger piece of material and either tack down or glue down the edges to create a seam like above.

Step 2:

Fold each end into the centre and glue or sew in place.

Step 3:

Fold with 2 downward facing pleats in the middle.

Step 4:

To make the middle section, fold the smaller strip like so:

and sew or glue down the edge, and turn the right way out.

Step 5:

Wrap the centre section with strip that you just created and sew or glue on.

And ta-dah you have a cute hair bow!

P.S. To wear pin in place with hair grips
