This is one of the many ways to make bows. Enjoy!

1

Start with a strip of felt any colour.Use thin felt, it works better. Try to make the shape as proportionate the picture.
2

Fold it in half
3

Sew up the open side of the felt and turn it inside out
4

Cut a small strip for the middle of the bow
5

Crease the bow in the middle. I'm not sure how to describe it but follow the picture.
Play around with the felt until you're satisfied with the shape.
6

Take the strip of felt and wrap it around the bow. Make sure it's in the centre
7

Sew up the ends from the behind.
8

Cut off the excess fabric...

This is how to make a simple felt bow.
9

This is a stocking that I didn't need because it had a ladder in it.
Cut a strip off it(It really doesn't matter if it's uneven, just don't have it really thin)
10

So now you have a ragged piece of stocking.
11

Pull the stocking a bit and it will turn into a tight piece of elastic!
I discovered this a while ago and you can use it as a hair tie too
12

Sew the bow onto the elastic
13

And there you go!
14

You can put this in your hair...But tie your hair first with a normal hair tie before putting the bow in it
15

Or you can wear it on your hand;D
Or do whatever you want with it really.
