Have you ever wanted to make the perfect mini bow? These instructions provide an easy way to make adorable hair clips with little time and effort. The hair clips can be used for all ages and are simple and easy to make. You'll get an adorable accessory every time.
Step 1
Make a chipboard template as shown. This will be vital to making your mini-bow. Cut the cardboard into the shown shape. Also, get a 3/8" ribbon, 4" long to use to make the bow.
Step 2
Place the ribbon under the template as shown and wrap the ribbon over.
Step 3
Make sure it is wrapped on both sides before you flip it.
Step 4
Thread elastic thread as shown. You can find elastic thread in the notions department of craft or general department stores.
Step 5
Wrap the elastic thread around the ribbon several times.
Step 6
Pull the elastic tight and tie it into a tiny knot (on back).
Step 7
Remove mini bow from the template.
Step 8
Cut the ribbon if needed.
Step 9
Decorate the center by either sewing a tiny pearl or wrapping a piece of narrow ribbon. Hot glue mini bows on lined clips.
Tips
It's better to have the ribbon a bit too long than too short. If it's too long, you can cut it, but if it's too short, there's not much you can do about it.
