DIY Hair Bows

So I go this idea from a Bethany Mota video and I just wanted to try it out. I love wearing bows in my hair. You can wear them with just about anything. I hope you enjoy this tutorial.

 The first thing you need to do is gather your supplies. You will need some fabric of your choice, a ruler, any type of hair clip you would like to use, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, a pair of scissors, and a piece of cardboard to use as a gluing surface.
 Next, heat up your glue gun.
 Measure out a piece of fabric approximately 9 inches by 14 inches.

 Then, fold the top down about one-third of the way.
 Fold the bottom up so it is just below the edge.
 Fold the right side not quite to the middle of the fabric.
 Then fold the left side over the right.
Glue it down
Then let it sit for about 30 seconds to let the glue dry. 
 Pinch the center of the fabric to make the bow shape.
 Then glue the places where you creased the fabric so it holds its shape without you holding it.

 Measure out another piece of fabric to be the center piece of the bow approximately 9 inches by 3 inches.

 Just like for the main piece, fold the top down about one-third of the way.
Then fold up the bottom edge almost all the way to the top and glue it down.

Wrap the strip of fabric around the center of the bow.
Glue it down and snip off any excess fabric.

Now you have your bow.
Lastly, apply some glue to the back of the  bow, press on your hair clip, and let dry.

Now you are all done! I made a second bow with some blue polka dotted fabric and I plan to wear one tomorrow. These are so incredibly easy to make and you can even make some for your friends as a gift maybe. Comment below if you think I should do more DIYs and what you would like them to be. I hope you found this DIY turorial helpful and you enjoyed it. Bye!
