I used a small piece of a striped stocking I had lying around.
(Hot Topic - $8)
For the wrapping piece, I used a bit of black lace trim I bought from WalMart for about $4.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • 1 in A leg from a pair of Nylon Panty Hose/Knee Highs Tights for the body of the bow
  • 2 in About Lace Trim for the wrapping piece

Steps (4 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut the desired portion of material from the stocking or sock you've chosen.

    Be sure that this portion is an even square or rectangle.

  2. 2

    IF YOU CHOSE A SQUARE: Take two parallel sides and bring them to the center of the material. THIS WILL BE THE BACK OF THE BOW.

    IF YOU CHOSE A RECTANGLE: Take the longer two parallel sides and bring them to the center of the material. THIS WILL BE THE BACK OF THE BOW.

  3. 3

    Using the lace, tie a knot around the fold.

    MAKE SURE THE ACTUAL KNOT IS ONLY VISIBLE IN THE BACK.

    The front should look smooth.

  4. 4

    Tighten the knot so that the lace droops down at the bottom and creates the ties of the bow.

    Use a bobby pin or small snap clip for holding in your hair.

    You're Done!
