Making Loop Hair Bows

Supplies Needed

Scissors
Ribbon (about 2¼ inches wide)
Ruler (to measure)
Hot Glue Gun
Barrette

Instructions

Go to the market and get 2¼ inches-wide ribbon, in your favorite color.
Take the wide ribbon and cut a section that is around one foot in length.
Fold the ribbon flat side down and make a loop with one end.
Now, hold the middle of the bow down between your fingers, so as to make sure that the loop does not open up.
Following similar step as above, make a loop on the other end of the ribbon as well.
Place the bow on the table and keep something on it, to keep the loops intact.
Cut a 3" piece from the ribbon and wrap it around the middle section of the bow, between the two loops.
With the help of the hot glue gun, seal the wrapped ribbon to itself.
Leave the bow undisturbed for sometime, to let the glue dry.
Finally, glue the back of a barrette to the ribbon and let it dry.
Your loop hair bow is ready to wear.
