A hair bow forms a very important part of a girl child’s formal or semi-formal ensemble. Just like a tiara that adorns a princess’s head, a hair-bow is designed to beautify the hair of a little girl or even a young lady. Hair bows can be made out of a variety of fabrics, but the most popular fabric for hair-bows happens to be satin. Hair bows can be of a single color or multi-hued and are normally made to match with the rest of the wearer’s ensemble. While you can always buy hair bows from the market, you also have the option of making them at home very easily. Read on to get instructions for making hair bows.
Things You Will Need to Make Hair Bow
- A piece of fabric, preferably satin
- A piece of elastic
- A clip or bobby pin
- Needle and thread
How to Make Hair Bow
- Take the rectangular satin fabric. Fold it inside out lengthwise, in a hot-dog style.
- Use needle and thread to sew away the long edge.
- Now turn the fabric’s right side out.
- Fold the two edges of the satin fabric on the opposite ends inwards at the center, so that they meet. Stitch them in this position.
- Next take the elastic piece and stitch it to a small chunk of fabric. Next twist the elastic around the middle of the bow. Clip away the extra elastic.
- Get a clip or bobby pin and slide one side under the elastic.
- Your simple hair bow is now ready for use.
