Cute bow from fabric and recycled netting!
I like how the netting adds a fascinator-esque touch ot the bow.

For the netting I used the net that Babybels come in. But you could any sort of netting really.

Step 1
Gather your materials (you can't see the netting here)
I made the bow earler.
Plug in your hot glue gun to heat up.
Step 2
Place the netting out so the longest side is on the bottom (it should be in a rectangle).
Fold the netting in half so it is now half as long. Glue down a dot in the middle and wait to cool. Repeat one more time. (so now the net should be at 1/4 the length)
Step 3
Now pinch the netting in the middle and glue again. Wait to cool.
Step 4
To make the bow:
a)Think about how big you want your bow. Cut out from the fabric a rectangle the height you want but twice as long. (look at the picture as an example)
Step 5
b) fold the fabric inwards so the two ends are now meeting at the middle. Sew together so you now have a circle of fabric (with the right side out) (once again, use the picture).
Step 6
c) Gather your circle so it looks like a bow with no 'knot'. Cut a rectangular piece of fabric that will fit around the part of the bow for the knot.
Making sure the seams are on the same side, sew the small rectange around the bow.
And your bow is finished!
Step 7
Next, put a small amount of glue on the back of the bow. Attatch the bow over the glue on the net.
Step 8
Put glue on your clip/bobby pin and stick to the back side of the netting. Let cool.
Step 9
Optional: you can add sequins, glitter, buttons, etc. to decorate your bow, or you can leave it plain, if you wish.
Step 10
If you find you netting isn't "fluffy enough", take a pair of sissors and cut through some of the net so it isn't as clumped together.
