Today, I will be showing you how to make this big, cute, hair bow! As some of you know, I am a cheerleader, I made it specifically for that, but it can even be worn regularly.
All you will need is a spool of ribbon 3 inches wide, a spool of ribbon 5/8 inches wide, matching thread, a hot glue gun, a needle, fabric scissors, and elmers liquid school glue.
First, arrange the thicker ribbon into a cursive lowercase L shape (with a loop). My mom compared it to making an X without cutting the ribbon, but anyway, it should be this shape. Leave the tails about 6 inches, so we can cut them to the right length at the end.
Now, once you like how it looks, cinch the middle by threading your needle through the center of the ribbon, then wrap the rest of it tightly around it and knot it off, through the ribbon. After that, cut a piece of the thinner 5/8 in ribbon and loosely tie a knot in it. Wrap that around the center and hot glue the ends together in the back, with the elastic underneath it.
Finally, to finish off the ends, I cut my ends to about 4.5 inches from the center, and cut a triangle out of it to give it a cute finish. Now to seal the ribbon so it won't fray. Take your elmers glue and lightly squirt it onto the ends of the cut ribbon and let it dry. Now you're finished! Enjoy your cute bow!
