DIY - BOWS!

Hi All!
So over the holidays I decided to get a little crafty and make some of my friends' gifts for Christmas since I'm all about saving money. I thought bows would be a cute idea, seeing that you can wear it more than one way (Hair accessory, bow tie, necklace, etc.)
Here is what you'll need: 

  • 2 pieces of fabric cut in a rectangle the same size. (the size depends on how big or small you want it)
  • a piece of fabric cut in a small thin rectangular strip for the center
  • needle/ thread or fabric glue

  1. sew or glue the all of the edges on the right sides of the fabric together and leave a hole big enough for you to turn in on its right side. (like making a pillow)
  2. Once you turned it on the right side, stitch or glue the hole you left.
  3. Pinch the center, take the long strip and wrap it around the center of the bow. Stitch or glue the back of the strip down to secure it.
  4. Wear and decorate the bow however you want! :) 
Now you're a pro at bow making!

For our more visual followers:   Just click here to open the link to a video that I used to learn how to make these lovely bows. Get creative and put your own twist on it, and you'll be surprised on how compliments you will get! Enjoy.


I even made a pair of shorts to match my bow - Tee
