Need a quick, cute accessory to make your Valentine's Day outfit perfect? Look no further than the velvet hair bow! Consider it the grown-up version of the one you wore to your Valentine's Day party in kindergarten. Inexpensive and easy to make - it would also be a perfect gift!
 |
| Supplies: Scissors, Hot Glue Gun, Hair Barrette, 1" Velvet Ribbon. |
 |
| Cut the ribbon so, when folded in a circle, it extends just past the ends of the barrette. |
 |
| Fold both of the ends and glue it with a strip of hot glue, forming two loops. |
 |
| Repeat the first two steps, but with a smaller piece of ribbon so when stacked you can clearly see the bigger ribbon. |
 |
| Add a strip of glue to the middle of the bigger ribbon. |
 |
| Make sure the smaller ribbon is centered and glue it on to the bigger ribbon. |
 |
| Measure a strip of ribbon that can go completely around the bow, forming the "knot" in the middle. |
 |
| The easiest way to do this is by gluing one end to the back of the bow. |
 |
| Then cutting the tail exactly where you need it to be. |
 |
| Glue completely flat - make sure this is all on the back of the bow! |
 |
| Next, add a generous amount of hot glue to the top of the barrette. |
 |
| Make sure the clip is centered and straight before adhering it to the back of the bow. |
 |
| As soon as the glue cools, it's ready to wear! |
