Hair Bow Instructions
Beautiful, delicate hair bows are a must-have hair accessory for women of all ages. A pretty hair bow to match with your every dress is indeed a great idea, but if you decide to buy them in every color, you will have to shell a large amount. So, how about making your own hair bows? Sounds fun, ain't it? Not only you will have one to flaunt with every dress, but you will also have an ample choice in terms of fabric and embellishments.
Instructions for Making Hair Bow
Basic Hair Bow
This is a simple method to make hair bow type and your supplies for the same are, grosgrain ribbon of about 40'' length, a pair of scissors, dental floss, hot glue gun/sticks and a plain hair clip. Cut the ribbon into two pieces of 16'' and 24'' respectively. Take the 24'' piece of ribbon and wind it twice around your four fingers, starting from pinkie and ending with the forefinger.
While still maintaining the shape of loops, remove your fingers and hold the center. Unfurl the loops and tie the center with the help of dental floss. If the ends are too long, trim them and seal them with an anti fraying treatment or a clear nail polish. Repeat the same procedure for the 16'' piece, but make sure to overlap the ends by 1/2 inch while folding the ribbon. Place this layer on the 24'' bow layer and again tie the two layers together with a dental floss. Using a hot glue, stick this bow to the plain hair clip. Cover the dental floss with a piece of ribbon for the center or attach a nice pearl or a button as embellishment.
Korker Hair Bow
Korker hair bow is a very popular choice for little girls' hair bows. You will need several inch wooden dowel rods. Take a long piece of grosgrain ribbon and wind it along the rod, without any overlapping. Secure the ends of the ribbon with clothespin. Cover the rods with an aluminum foil and place it in an oven, preheated at 275 F.
Let the rod remain in the oven for about 15 minutes. After that, take one rod out and check if the ribbon has curled or not. If it has, take all the rods out and cut the curled ribbon in 25 to 50 sections and seal the ends of all the ribbon ends. Place these sections in a perpendicular fashion on a string of length 12''. Tie the string around the sections such that there is an equal ribbon on the either side of the string. Make several knots so as to secure all the sections in place. Attach the bow to the hair clip and cover the center in the same fashion as mentioned above.
You can bring a lot of variety in your hair bows, both in terms of design patters as well as colors. While making layered bows, make use of multiple ribbons with complementing colors. Ribbons with polka dots look great for small girls. Make use of old broaches and fancy hair clips to decorate your bows.
