  • How to make a hair bow. Bow Hair Pins - Step 1
    Step 1

    Get felt. Cut out a strip that is 2 by 3 inches, and another strip that is about 3/4 inch by 2 inches.

    The skinny piece in your photo is not an accurate representation of the measurements given above.

    Sew a double running stitch in the middle of your bigger felt piece.

    Step 3

    Pull the string to ruche your felt piece so that it starts to look like a bow. Be careful not to pull too hard - you don't want your string to break.

    Step 4

    Wrap your smaller piece of felt around the middle of your bow, and sew it together in the back.

    You might also want to sew it down to your bow a bit so that it has more stability and won't run around.

    Don't worry if your sewing is ugly back here. No one's going to see it.

    Step 5

    Insert a hair pin through the opening between the bow and cincher.
    If you want, you can glue yours down with hot glue [which I don't have, sadly] or you can even use one of those snappy hair pins. Remember those? From when you were a kid?
