I got my inspiration from babble.com (25 Surprisingly Hip Hot Glue Projects) The link is below: http://www.babble.com/home/25-surprisingly-hip-hot-glue-projects/ The creating part of the bow is completely original. (as far as I know)

Instructions

  1. Small pic 0416

    Preheat your glue gun and prepare materials.

  2. Small pic 0417

    Cut 2 strips of ribbon to length of choice.

  3. Small pic 0418

    Take the two ends of 1 strips and glue together to form a circle. (refer to next picture)

  4. Small pic 0426

    Here are the circles.

  5. Small pic 0427

    Once glued, press finger down into the middle of the circle, and adjust to make it even. While keeping your finger in the middle, grab your glue gun, lift up, place a drop, and press back down. Be careful not to burn yourself.

  6. Small pic 0431

    Repeat step 5 to both.

  7. Small pic 0432

    Align the two in a criss-cross pattern and glue. Adjust as necessary.

  8. Small pic 0434

    Cut a third piece a little smaller. Wrap around the middle of the bow, placing a drop of glue every other wrap.

  9. Small pic 0438

    Wrap around a second strand if necessary. (I did need a second strand.)

  10. Small pic 0439

    Cut two more strands for the tails. corner off one edge.

  11. Small pic 0441

    Glue both strands to the back. Then glue a small square over it to finish it off.

  12. Small pic 0443

    You can also glue a bobby pin to the back so you can put it in your hair.

    And..... You're done!
