Make these super cute accessories.
I always see these super cute gift bows whenever I go into my local party store. They're so eye catching and you can get them in so many colours that I knew I simply had to wear them. And then when I found these hair slides it was meant to be; those delicious colours were going in my hair and there was nothing anyone could do about it. They're super quick and easy to make so make one or a few and wear as many as you like.

Step 1
Most tags come with a little bit of paper on which is used to stick the bow to the parcel. Sadly the stickiness isn't strong enough so that little tag has to come off.
Step 2
Remove as much as possible until you are left with just the bow to work with.
Step 3
Take a small circle or rectangle of felt and cover it in glue.
Step 4
Stick your felt to your bow and leave to dry.
Step 5
Now prepare your hair slide. Run glue along the edge you want to stick your bow to. You might want to use a stronger glue for this job as plastic can be resistant to some weaker glues.
Step 6
Since hair slides are curved you with need to hold your bow for a while while it becomes tacky.
Step 7
After you glue has completely dried add a few stitches in place just to add extra security.
