Glue Gunned Bows How To

Cute glue-gunned easy bows =)

well, first thing
make sure you have the following: Scrap fabric, a glue gun, thin-medium ribbon, and some stuffing [like what they use for stuffed animals], and a clip.

Add to Favorites Add Your Version

okay, start off with a scrap piece of fabric, It doesn't matter the size because it depends on how big or small you want it. But I cut mine, 3.75in by 3.25 in.
Fold the fabric in half so now the opposite side is showing. From there, glue gun 2 of the sides so there is only one opening from the side.
Now flip the fabric inside out, so the correct side is now showing. Take some of the stuffing and add it to the inside. NOT A LOT, just a little. Make sure that the stuffing is spread out inside the bow so its not just a big clump.
Once you have the stuffing in; from the opening, fold a little crease, and add some glue along there and press it against the other side of the bow that is not glued.
Once it's all glued your result should look something like this.
Now take your piece of ribbon and wrap it around the center of your bow. Then at the end of the ribbon, add a dab of glue and press it against the part of the ribbon that is wrapped around the bow.
Now take a clip preferably the plain silver ones that you can by at stores, and make a dab of glue at both ends and press it down to the bow, your result should look like this :]
Now you have a bow! yay ! haha, thats me in the picture with my bow :] , If you have any questions please leave a comment and Ill see what I can do to help. If you have any adjustments or ideas, please let me know ! :] thanks, and I hope I helped <333

I made one this morning. I sewed it instead oh hot glueing it since I had no hot glue gun. I also put too much stuffing in it. So mine didn't turn out a cute as yours. lol.
