I used packing tape for mine, but duct tape works just as well. Put a bobby pin or a clip inside the loop to make a hairbow!

Rip off a piece of tape about 12 inches long, or longer if you want a long and skinny bow, shorter if you want a really small bow. This one is in the middle.
Fold over the tape carefully, leaving about 1/2 inch of the sticky part left. If it's wrinkled at the end, you can easily snip this off.
Attach the sticky part to the other end of the tape to make a small ring.
Do the same thing to a smaller piece of tape, about 1/2 the size of the original. Skip this if you don't want a layered bow.
Now you have 2 rings.
Rip a small piece of tape from the original color and put it to the side.
I couldn't take a picture of the next step because it requires 2 hands. •Flatten the rings and place the smaller one on top of the bigger one. •Fold a small portion of the 2 pieces of tape and flip it over and fold another small portion, accordion style •Keep doing this till there is no more tape left to fold. It should look like this if you place your fingers in the middle.
Take the smaller piece of tape and wrap it around the middle. Viola!
