So this is how it goes:
HOW TO MAKE A BOW:
Materials:
- Fabric (your own choice)
- Thread to match
- Needle
- Pen
- Ruler
- Pins
Instructions:
1. Cut out a rectangle out of your fabric. Measurement will depend on how big you want your bow to be. In this tutorial, my measurements are 3x7.
2. Fold your fabric in half and press the edge to create a crease.
Unfold your fabric and you should have something like this:
3. Place your ruler by the crease and trace it with your pen.
You should have something like this:
4. Take the other end of the fabric and fold it until the line. Overlap it a little. Do the same with the other.
You should have something like this by now:
5. Secure it with a pin.
6. Take your thread and needle. Thread it if you still haven't yet.
7. Sew the edge so that it'll look like this:
Then proceed to do a running stitch.
Don't do anything when you reached the other end. Just leave it like this:
8. Pull your thread so the fabric will gather. It should be forming a bow.
9. Push the needle through the gathered fabric to secure it. Tie a knot and then cut your thread.
10. Cut out another rectangle. A smaller one. No preferred measurements. It depends on how big your bow is.
11. Wrap it around your bow, leaving the back side like this:
12. Sew it on the ribbon.
13. Cut out the excess.
You're done!
You can now attach your bow to your skirt (like I will), a headband or anywhere you like. Plus, it'll help you save money from buying those store bought bows. I hope this somehow helped so...that's it for now!
