How to Make a DIY Hair Bow
If you've ever wanted to learn how to make a DIY hair bow, you're in the right place! I'm so excited to share today's project because it's one of my favourite quick and easy DIYs.
My daughter has finally started letting me put hair clips in her hair, so I thought it would be fun to make a few custom bows just for her. Of course, if I'm feeling a little fancy, I might borrow one now and then too!
These DIY hair bows are simple, inexpensive to make, and come together in just a few minutes. They're perfect for beginners, make adorable handmade gifts, and are a fun way to create cute accessories that match any outfit. Once you see how easy it is to make a hair bow, you'll want to make them in every colour and pattern!
Here's how to make a cute DIY hair bow:
MATERIALS:
- 1/8 yard of any type of fabric (I typically like cotton)
- 1 button
- Small circle of felt
- Lined alligator clip
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Threaded needle
- Plastic cup for tracing
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Trace your plastic cup top 6 times on fabric and cut your circles out (the bigger the circles, the bigger your flower)
2. Fold each circle in half twice so that they resemble a triangle. (you're going to want to do this one at a time.)
4. Weave your needle in and out along the rounded part of your triangle
5. Repeat step 4 with all 6 triangles
6. Now that you have all 6 triangle pieces on your thread you can push them all together carefully
7. Tie off tightly 3 times so that your knot stays
8. Place your button of choice on top of the flower and begin sewing it to the inside of the middle of the flower
9. Now turn your flower around and hot glue your circle piece of felt (half dollar size) on the back of your flower
10. You can also glue a few small dots under your button to secure
11. Hot glue your pre lined alligator clip on the back
These DIY hair bows are such a fun and easy project, and they're perfect for all ages. Whether you're making them for your own little ones, giving them as thoughtful handmade gifts, or adding a few to your own accessory collection, they're sure to get plenty of use.
I hope you've enjoyed learning how to make a DIY hair bow and feel inspired to create your own. Have fun mixing and matching fabrics, colours, and patterns to make each bow unique. Happy crafting!
I didn’t see step 3 anywhere. It jumps from step 2 to 4.
