Valentines Day

Valentine's Day

Looking for something to make for your daughter, try these easy bows. You can make them any color or size. I chose to do them Valentine's day colors since V-Day is coming up.

Step 1: Buy some Valentine's Day Ribbons. I bought these ones at the Dollar Tree. Super cheap and super cute. You also need a glue gun and the clips for the bows. You can buy them at any Beauty Supply Store. Here is a picture to make sure you get the right ones.

Step 2: Cover the metal prong clip with a solid ribbon. preferrably a skinny one. Glue it on with the glue gun.

Step 3: Put the clip aside for a few minutes and grab the decorated ribbon. Make two loops with it. It's kind of like tying your shoes. Then you will cut off the ribbon after the loops touch and glue it on the bottom. Make it like medium size. When you are done with the medium size one, make a smaller one that can fit on top of it.

Step 4: Glue the small one on top of the big one. Then take the same ribbon and glue it vertically on the bottom of the big one. You are going to be making a center for the ribbon. Loop it all around and glue it down again.

Step 5: Glue the clip on the back of the ribbon. ENJOY!

Another thing that I have found useful to store bows on is a ribbon hanger. I will post the steps to make this. It is super easy.

Step 1: Get a thick ribbon. Cut it as long as you think you will want your hanger to be.

Step 2: Make a loop at the top of one side. and glue it down. You may need to glue in several places. I have done one before this black one and have found that if the ribbon has wire in it, it is easier to bend.

Step 3: At the opposite end, glue and fold into a triangle. It will look kind of like a tie.

*** Now you are done and can hang it up through the hoop with either a hook or a tack. It is great for organizing.***
