Creating a butterfly bow hair clip is a delightful and easy DIY project. Follow these simple steps to make your own beautiful hair accessory.
Materials Needed
- Round piece of fabric (approximately 6 inches in diameter)
- Square piece of fabric (approximately 4 inches by 4 inches)
- Needle and thread
- Thin ribbon (about 4 inches long)
- Hair clip
- Glue gun
Instructions
Prepare the Fabrics
Lay the round piece of fabric flat on your work surface.
Place the square piece of fabric on top of the round fabric, positioning it diagonally so that one of the corners of the square aligns with the center of the round piece.
Form the Bow
Start folding the round piece of fabric from the bottom, rolling it upwards.
When you reach the center, continue folding the square fabric along with the round piece until the entire length is rolled up.
Secure the Bow
Pinch the middle of the rolled fabric to create a bow shape.
Use a needle and thread to sew a few stitches at the center, securing the bow shape in place.
Add the Ribbon
Cut a thin ribbon to approximately 4 inches in length.
Using a glue gun, attach the ribbon around the center of the bow where you have sewn. This will hide the stitches and give the bow a neat finish.
Wrap the ribbon tightly around the center and secure it with another dab of hot glue.
Attach the Hair Clip
Place the hair clip on the back of the bow, positioning it horizontally across the center.
Use the glue gun to attach the clip to the bow. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure it sticks properly.
For extra security, thread the ribbon through the clip’s opening, bring it up, and glue it in place on the back of the bow.
Final Touch
Let the glue dry completely before using the hair clip.
Your butterfly bow hair clip is now ready to wear! This charming accessory is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any hairstyle. Enjoy your handmade creation!
