Description

This is similar to my bow ribbon post however this has more steps and you see this type of thing more in shops and malls.

Instructions

  1. Small dscf5302 1278346661

    having two materials of the same pattern (one for the bow and another for the band)

  2. Small dscf5304 1278345521

    for the peice of material to use as a bow the mesurments are 7cm vertically or width and 11cm horizontally

  3. Small dscf5303 1278345722

    To check that your material is the right mesurement without cutting it yet put make a pinch in the middle and you will see what will be your bow shape, you can adjust from there and then cut it from the large material piece.

  4. Small dscf5285 1278345829

    Taking a peice of a complimentry colour cut a strip 5cm in length. Using the thin strip fold tightly around the actual bow this will pull all the material to form a real bow shape.fold the strip very very tightly, and sew it at the back of the bow to be attached to it.

    Your bow is now done and should look like this.

    Next take the material you will use for your band approximatly 4-5cm wide and the length of how long you want it around your head

  7. Small dscf5288 1278346265

    lay the material in a long line along your preffrably flat work area and fold twice to make what the image shows with the material flaps in the center, make sure this is consistant in the line

  8. Small dscf5289 1278346729

    Now take the two loose materials(the middle ones and hold them together now here you either chose to handsew or to use a machine, either way is good. (go to step 10 to for the macine instructions)

  9. Small dscf5290 1278346854

    for handsewing just start at the end and work your way through making sure you only sew togther the top of the band you do not want to sew through the entire thing.

  10. Small sewing machine hands fabric

    sew alond the top in a smaller than average stitching making sure you only sew togther the top of the band you do not want to sew through the entire thing.

    returning the sew part to the middle of the band on the viewing side it should look like this but its getting all tangly isn't it?

  12. Small hand ironing coolclips hand0020

    Thats why you iron it for 3-5 minutes

  13. next sew your bow onto the ironed band.
