Recently I had been thinking of a useful tutorial for you guys - all you parents with little girls will thank me for this one.. As I have mentioned I have two gorgeous little ladies with long hair, so with that, I have created this tutorial to make a hair bow/ clip holder, as I found most of the clips and bands go missing. Below are directions for how to create this your self, and trust me its simple!
 |
The pink and purple ribbon are great for hair clips and the centre, polka
dot piece allows you to hang bands through the loops.
|
You will need
Photo framecoloured card or paper/ or a photo
1" ribbon 3 different colours
2" ribbon 1 colour
scrap of string
Hot Glue Gun
Glue sticks
How to
1. Open up your frame and cut out a piece of fancy card/paper to fit in the frame, place it in the frame and close.2. Cut out 3 pieces of ribbon as long as you like mine were about half a meter/yard, two 1 Inch wide pieces and one 2 Inch wide piece. The last 1 inch wide piece must be around 4 inches longer than the rest as it will be slightly gathered up in the process.
3. Lay out the wider piece of ribbon and starting an inch from the top make a small mark every 2 Inches all the way down. Do the same to one of the thinner pieces, only this time measure 3 Inches and place your mark.
(I didn't follow any of this step the first time and it was very uneven and the finish was not great.)
4. Once your glue gun has heated up place a small dot of glue on the first mark of the wider ribbon, then quickly place the mark on your thinner ribbon on top of this. Do this for every mark you have made the whole way down.

| This is what it should look like now. |
Now add your ribbon good side down, it should look something like this.
6. now you can cut the ends into a V or at an angle to finish it off and use a lighter to seal the edge and prevent fraying.
I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial. Give me a +1 and head over and visit me on instagram and twitter!
