2 Loop Bow

This is a super simple hair summer accessory. when I wear bows I like to put my hair in a pony tail or even a bun. Its a very cool(not hot) hair style.  But wait maybe you've grown out of bows? Don't care for them? Well, still try it! they can be very fun to make!



You'll need:
7/8" wide ribbon
1/8" or 5/8" wide ribbon
An alligator clip
A lighter (Or clear nail polish)
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Newspaper (optional)

            





Cut about 10-10 1/2 inches of 7/8" ribbon

         

                                    
                                        Fold ribbon in half to make a crease............ Put glue down the crease
                                                  




Fold a side in...........



Now fold the other one in............




pinch the middle to form bow...................


                
                                                                  put a dot of glue in center.............
                                                                 


Then pinch and hold............




Should look like this..................


     

                            Now put a dot of glue on each flap, pinch and hold  flaps............
                                                                 

  
now get your smaller ribbon and wrap it around your bow.
Cut excess ribbon off and glue ribbon to bow.............
KraftyTip: Before you wrap ribbon all the way around open a alligator clip and glue it, slip the ribbon through the clip and push firmly. By doing this you dont have to worry about access glue on the clip.(this is just and idea if you dont line your clip
.


Line your alligator clip. (This step is optional) If you would like us to show you how to line a alligator clip please comment on this tutorial and mention it.




But as you can see it looks just fine with out it.




Add some glue to the back of the bow........




Ok, attach alligator clip to the back of the bow



                                                           And there you have it!!!!
