| This bow looks way more complicated than it actually is. |
My daughter Zara loves hair bows like I love earrings. She's so my girl. She's very particular about what she likes in a hair bow. It needs to be smallish and cute but not too cutesy and absolutely nothing big and garish. It's always worn on the right side. Only one at a time. Any deviations are not tolerated. She's three and the girl knows what she likes. She needed a navy blue hair clip, so I whipped this little one up. It's Super Simple, like most of the hair clips I make for her.
Ingredients:
- Covered hair clip base
- Ribbon - three 4" pieces & one 1 1/2" piece
- Hot glue gun & glue stick
- Scissors
| The ingredients. |
Use a dot of glue to secure the ends of the 4" ribbons into loops.
| Make loops. |
Use another dot of glue to glue the center of one loop together, making a sort of sideways figure eight.
| Make a figure eight. |
Slip the squashed loop into a loop diagonally and secure with glue. Glue the top of loop down in the center.
| Layer the loops. |
Add the third loop.
| The three loops glued together. |
Wrap the small section of ribbon around the center and attach it to the back with yet more glue. Glue the finished bow onto the covered hair clip base.
| Add the center and glue the bow to the base. |
Finished!
| Lotsa loops. |
Zara loved it! Yay!
| The smile on her face says it all. Thank goodness! |

Cute, cute, cute!!
