Some of you asked for a tutorial about how I make my bows. It's fairly easy, for the most part it is just folding. This tutorial I am not so proud of but it will do :)

Description

Some of you asked for a tutorial about how I make my bows. It's fairly easy, for the most part it is just folding. This tutorial I am not so proud of but it will do :)

Instructions

  1. Small 08 02 10 1437 1280777279

    Iron the fabric of your choice.

  2. Small 08 02 10 1446 1280777631

    Now, using your pencil, draw where you will cut. I do not know the measurements I used since I did not have a ruler available (I'm sorry D:)

  3. Small 08 02 10 1451 1280777721

    Now cut out the two pieces of fabric. The large part will be your bow and the small piece will be the center thinger.

  4. Small 08 02 10 1452 1280777768

    Fold the fabric like so until you cannot see the edges you have cut out. It should be folded edges on all four sides.

  5. Small 08 02 10 1504 1280777814

    Now sew the center part. The thread color does not matter since this part will not be seen.

  6. Small 08 02 10 1505 1280777850

    This is the tricky part! Fold the edges of the small thinger then wrap it around the bow. The tricky part is keeping the edges folded.

  7. Small 08 02 10 1509 1280777897

    Sew the middle thinger in place.

    Straighten it out and you are done!! I am not a fan of this bow >_> but I hope I helped!
