Steps (12 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your materials and plug in your hot glue gun, as well as your iron.

  2. 2

    Lay dress on work surface. Measure 43" of glitter stripping.

  3. 3

    Optional: Cut the stripping in half to make thinner lines in your motif, or mix and match width.

  4. 4

    Optional: Cut an additional 12" for a third bow-motif, as we have.

  5. 5

    Lay out stripping in slightly off-center v-neck shape as shown.

    Once desired motif is achieved, iron down stripping using printer paper as a press-cloth. Press 25-30 seconds and then repeat.

  7. 7

    Position bow appliques at intersection of v-motif.

  8. 8

    Once desired motif is achieved, hot glue the appliques in place.

  9. 9

    You might add an additional bow if you spilled some glue on your project... (oops!) Remember: DIY is all about trial and error!
