This is made using a fabric measuring tape. They are fairly easy to find at thrift stores and flea markets.

Start by getting all of those pesky creases out of the measuring tape. You can iron them out, or if you're impatient like me, I used wrinkle releaser. Once smooth, measure out six inches of the tape. Now, run a bead of the fray check along all the edges and let dry also check the extra inch

After the glue has dried pinch the loop together in the middle to make a bow shape. Sorry, no picture :( Mainly, you want to get it creasing in the right places. Now pick up your extra inch of tape. Wrap it around the middle of your bow, tightly, and glue.
This is where you have the option of sewing. You can sew these ends together for a more stable bow. It all depends on your glue strength. Once all glued/sewn, trim off the excess and insert the bobby pin. Ta-da! Ready and fabulous! These are so easy and quick to make, I love them. Enjoy!
