  Step 1

  Cut about 6 inches of ribbon (or less depending on how big you want your bow to be.

• 

  Step 2

  Lightly burn the two ends of your ribbon (to prevent fraying). (Go back and forth really quick so that you dont burn your edges too much.)

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the two ends inwards so that they are overlapping each other. (Fold in however much you want in order to increase or decrease the size of your bow.)

• 

  Step 4

  Place a pin in the middle, to hold bow together.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut another piece of ribbon, about 4 inches. (bow looks best if this piece of ribbon is smaller in width.)
  *Burn edges lightly to prevent fraying.

• 

  Step 6

  Fold this ribbon inward also. (be sure that this piece is smaller in length than the other piece)

• 

  Step 7

  Place this ribbon on top of the other ribbon and pin it.

• 

  Step 8

  cut two pieces of another color of ribbon (about 1 1/2 inches) and seal edges by burning them.

• 

  Step 9

  pin these two pieces to the back,

  ta da!! you got yourself a bow
  (for your hair, buy clips and hot glue your bows on and then you can wear them in your hair !)
  *you can buy a pack of a 100 for like $5 at sally's beauty supply store.
  *the clips are alligator type i.e <
  *i usually hot glue ribbon on both sides so that the silver plates are more camoflauged.
  Hope you enjoyed!!
