I dont know how much material i used exactley, but i found some black satin lying around, so i used that.

Get all the stuff you need. Cut your material into 2 peices, one large peice and one small peice. With the large peice, fold it in half, and sew the 2 edges together, then sew the 2 open edges left together (sorry if it doesnt make sense!)
Once youve done that, fold the large material in half width ways, then sew that up. It should look a bit like the photo :] (+ btw thats my leg. try not to be too repulsed XD)
Where you have just sewn the 2 edges together, pinch them together, then sew that so that it stays pinched-ish, like so.
Now get your smaller peice of material, and sew one end onto the bow.
Then wrap the material around itself, until you get to the end of the strip, then sew that down. Thats most of the work done! :D
Now comes the harder and more complicated bit! Get another strip of material, smaller than the last strip you used, and grab your hair grip. Ive used a crocodile/alligator clip, but you can use whatever you want, just dont be too silly and use a bobby pin/clip. Wrap the small peice of material around some of the clip, then sew the clip on using some of the material. This is probably quite hard to understand, but if you have glue gun, then save yourself the hassle and use that!
Get a badge with something awsome on it (i used a batman badge) and just pin it on. Its probably a good idea to just use a button badge, cause they stay on pretty easy.
And youre done! :D Go and enjoy your hairbow :3
