Bow Obsession

I absolutely love bows! My absolute favorite is wearing them in my hair. They are great because you can be wearing a sweatshirt and leggings but if you add the bow it makes it look like you really tried to look pretty that day. So, I decided to make my own bows to wear! They are surprisingly easy to make.
You start with a piece of fabric that is 10.5"x8", a hot glue gun, and a barrette of any size that will fit your hair.
Then you fold the fabric into thirds.
Then the two sides are folded into the middle of the fabric.
The next step is to pinch the middle together. Once you have the bow the way you want it, you use the hot glue gun to glue the parts that are pinched together. 
Then you want to glue the barrette to the back of the bow. The next step is to take a small strip of fabric and wrap it around the bow and through the back of the barrette. 
To finalize the bow, hot glue where the fabric strip starts on the bow and then where it ends so it is secured. Then you're all done! You have a beautiful bow to wear anytime you want!
