All you need is:
Alligator clips (Or the bendy clips if you can find them)
Premade bows (seriously)
Ribbon
Hot glue gun
This is what the premade bows look like. They come in tons of different colors and patterns. The top white clip is just one I was repairing. :) |
Here is the other color I made. Love the neutral color palette.
For the second kind of bow I made, I just tied a little piece of ribbon into a bow. (Make sure to tie it tight.) And then I hot glued it onto the alligator clip and trimmed the ribbon to the length I wanted. Done!
My husband has been telling me that I needed to make Sounder's bows for the girls for awhile now. Now they finally have some bling (team spirit?) to wear to the games when they go. And hey, it matches perfectly with Peanut's Sounder's cheer outfit. Adorbs!
Beautiful bows! I am so glad that now I can just make the girls bows if I ever need a specific color for a special occasion or anything. Now that I can make my own, I may never go back....maybe. Those boutique bows can be so tempting! I would like to try and find the bendy clips though. The alligator clips work fine, but I feel like the bendy clips will hold more hair. And just so everyone knows....those premade bows? You can make those yourself too. And its really not that hard. There is a good (and funny) video tutorial from the blog Joyfolie that shows an easy way to make them using felt. She also sells the cutest shoes on etsy. Enjoy!
Where did you buy the fabric part to put on the clips?
ReplyDeleteAt Michael's Craft Store. They come pre-made just like that. I'm sure you can find them at any major craft supply store though!
