Let's add a little visual interest, shall we?

I actually used fleece on this because I didn't have any different fabric. That seemed to make everything so much harder. ):

If you need some help, feel free to comment.

I also don't have pictures of this because it was done late at night. But I have MSPaint pictures.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Fabric
  • Elastic OR
  • Elastic Headband
  • Thread
  • Needle
  • Some Patience (:

Steps (10 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Figure out how long and how wide you'd like your bow to be.

    Take these measurements and multiply by 2. Cut out a piece of fabric with the new doubled measurements.

  2. 2

    Fold the fabric over "hotdog" style.

    Sew across the red line.

  3. 3

    Turn it inside out.
    Move the fabric so the seam line is in the middle.

  4. 4

    Fold it over so that the seam line is on the outside.

    Sew along the red line.

  5. 5

    Now turn it inside out.
    Bring the newest seam line to the middle.

  6. 6

    Pinch down in the middle and secure.
    You can sew it down, rubber band it down, whatever you please. You will be hiding it anyway.

    I used an old hair tie.

    The next step shows the hair tie securing.

  7. 7

    How I secured the pinch.

  8. 8

    Cut out a small piece, enough to cover up the middle.

    Slip it through the elastic headband.
    Or, if you have just plain elastic, you can attach it later.

  9. 9

    This is what mine looked like.

  10. 10

    TAAADAAAA.
    You're done. (:
