DIY Felt Bows {for any age}
When my daughter, Penelope, was born I was so surprised to see a head full of hair on her!

Neither my husband or I were born with hair, so we didn't see it coming. During my pregnancy I had been stashing lots and lots of headbands because I thought that was what I would use for at least a year. Welp, I was wrong. Turns out, with that head full of hair headbands just slipped right off! I decided to make a couple felt bows to see how they would work, and now they are my favorite go to bow!

You can use a template like I did, or you could draw out the shape you want yourself.
For my first attempt at making felt bows I sewed the pieces together. I didn't like the result because I felt it made for a loose bow and you could see my stitching throughout the bow- an unclean look i didn't like. The second bow I made, I used my hot glue gun and glued the pieces together, this worked very well and took at least half the time!
Lets get started!
Step 1: Trace & cut out your fabric

| I ended up making 8 bows. |
Step 2: Turn your glue gun on and glue one side of the bow
Step 3: Fold over the other side of the bow and glue
Step 4: Place the small rectangle of felt below the bow and glue together
Step 5: Glue the bottom of the bow on top of the last piece of fabric
Step 6: Glue a clip (or headband etc...) to your felt bow.
Ta da! Now wasn't that easy. Enjoy!
Have you ever made a bow? If so what kind?
