DIY Bow: How to make a bow

LB x SabinNa Collaboration DIY BoW KIT

How to make your bow

Step 1:

  • Fold your fabric rectangle in half along the width, right sides together

  • Pin and stitch along the edge of the fabric, leaving a gap in the middle (shown on green lines on right hand image)

Step 2:

  • Pin the seam so that it is in the centre of the rectangle (see 1st left image) and stitch across the top and bottom of the fabric

  • Pull the fabric through the hole (which you left in step 1) so that the right side of the fabric is visible

  • Tuck the top and bottom edge of fabric to give the bow structure

  • Using a needle and thread, stitch up the hole at the back of the bow

Step 3:

  • Fold thinner piece of fabric in half with the right side of fabric together to create the tie

  • Pull the fabric through so that the right side of the fabric is showing and the raw seam is on the inside

  • Press flat with an iron with the seam at the CB of the tie

  • Fold in the raw ends of the tie and hand sew up

  • Pinch through the centre of the larger piece of fabric to rouch it up

  • Place this on top of the tie and secure the rouching by tying the tie around it

Step 4:

  • Place the clip on the back of the bow (the side where the knot of the tie is)

  • Using a needle and thread, stitch through the holes to secure it to the bow (this is a bit tricky - if you have a glue gun, you can glue the clip on)

  • You may need to go through some of the holes twice to ensure it is secure

  • And your bow hair clip is finished!
