1. Introduction How to make a hair bow no tools just fingers: Welcome back to easy Art
and floral projects. Today we're going to
make a to loop bow. This is what a to
loop bow looks like. It's got a nice little
not in the middle. And it's the same on both sides. So there is no backside. This is a great
little bow to use to tie on packages, cards, or even glue a little
hair bow buret on the backside for
a child's hair?
2. Supplies needed: For this project, you're
going to need some scissors, some double faced satin ribbon. This is called number three
ribbon and the floral world, or 2.7 millimeter width. But it's shiny on both sides. Going to need a tape measure. And I like to measure
this out about 19 ". I already cut mine, but from
front-to-back is about 19 ". And that's about the
length, 19 to 20 ", which you need for a loop
to loop bow that size
3. Make the bow: This is really easy to do. It doesn't take any Tape or wires or needles and
threads or anything. It only takes about
2 min to make. You may have to watch us a few times to really get
the hang of it. But once you do, you'll
be making a lot of bows. So let's get started. We're going to put
the long end up above us, away from us. And the shorter end, it's
gonna be about three 4 ". And that's the week and
allow for the tail, whatever length tale you want. If you want a longer tail
than what we have here, you just cut more
Ribbon, maybe 25, maybe 30 " and you can
have a nice long streamer. Be wanted to go
down a child's back on her hair who has
really long hair, or to tie it around a present. For now, we're just
going to leave about oranges three 4 ". Make a peace sign with
your fingers. Do it again. All we need is to fingers
and thumb to make those bow. So we're going to brace it. Make it nice and firm and top with our little P
sine of our fingers. And we're going to pull under the index over
the middle finger, back through over the index. That gives us two loops
for that side of the bow. And back down. The
middle finger. We're going to grab on
with our thumb right here. Make sure it doesn't
slip anywhere. And then we're going to
take this end and put it between these two fingers.
See where it's coming out. Pull it back through.
So he again, it's going right through here. Pull through. And then you bring
that and around and make through that
little hoop you see there. Pull it through there. Take it out the other
end. Hold tight. And that's starting to form
the metal not of your bow. We're just going to see
us out as back-and-forth. It's nice and firm. Now it's done. Well, the other
tail board, your fingers. And Once he pulled
off your fingers, you just pull the ends
and flop out the sides. It's the same on both sides. And it's ready to have the streamers cut or
you can leave them long. But if you want to cut them, I like to fold the satin
ribbon in towards each other. Hold it. And then
where they're meeting, you cut up on a slant. He give that little
fishtail to the ribbon. Take the other side,
do the same thing. Folded in half, cut on the open ends and take your scissors
and cut another slip. Then you have fish
tails on both sides
4. Add a hair clip: So now it's time to add a
hair clip if you'd like to. If you have long streamers, it can go on the back
of a child's hair or you can clip it
really anything. And it looks just
like a nice accent. I'm going to show
you how I do it on a stuffed animal since I don't have a girl here
to put in her hair. But once it's on the
back, you can either slide it through that loop
like I showed you on this one, or it could be glued on. And you just pinch some
hair and just slide it on. And it's just adorable. It only takes a few
minutes to make and it's a special gift. You could even sell them in a little gift store
if you wanted to you can make them in
all different colors. It just clips right
on, slides right in. Super easy, gentle on the hair. I just love it. Cut accent to do for anything that
you want really.
5. Accent a Wine Glass: This is a fine idea. You can take a
wine glass and tie a ribbon around
it that she made. Use one that you have
some longer streamers that makes sure you tie
a little not in the bow with a streamers
before you try attach it to the line
Glass and then just wrap it around and
you tie it on. You didn't cut the streamers
whatever length you want. This is a nice idea for if
you're having a lunch in for a bridal shower or a wedding
or a gift for somebody. And such. Just a cute
little accent piece with a couple of loops. And just make sure when you go to cut your bow to the
length that you want, that you fold in
the ribbon sides and cut on the open edge
and an upward slant. To give you that
fishtail finished look. It just dresses up
the bow a little bit. If you'd like it that way.
6. Conclusion : So in conclusion,
I'm just gonna go over everything just once again. Make sure you by the
double faced satin ribbon so that it's shiny
on both sides. You can choose whatever
color ribbon you like. For whatever you're making. You can use a lot
of different colors and make a bunch
of different bows, but go ahead and get started. It doesn't matter
what brand you buy. Just make sure it's a number three ribbon or
2.7 millimeter width. And it is shiny on both sides. I'm going to say it again
because it makes it nice and silky and pliable. You measure out the
length that she like. To get. Short loops like this one. Short streamers, I mean, you do 19 20 " for
these longer ones, you just pull that longer. But the bow still
makes the same way. It's double sided. You just measure it
out and then cut it. Once you have put the
long and above you. The shorter end with a streamer at the base where you're going
to start making your bow. Pull that longer. If you
want longer streamers. Just cut the ribbon longer. Put it between your
two fingers and thumb. Make your peace sign. Laid over the top
of your fingers. Hold it with your thumb. Pull it nice and tante. Rapid over your index through. And then over your
middle finger. Under. Then over the index. That's gonna give
you the two loops on that left side. Under. This is important. Grip it with your
thumb right there. So it holds nice and tight. Put it between your fingers. You can see it come
out the other side. As you're still holding tight. Push it through. Pull it. Let me
come back around. Make sure you go between the two fingers to pull
that through an up seesaw. It just makes the loop a little tighter in the
center to hold it in place, back and forth. Pull the other streamer for it. And then gently pull off the loops of your
finger one at a time. Then you can fluff it. There you go. Same
on both sides. Cut your streamers to the
length that you like, giving it that fishtail. If you wanted to cut it on
a slant and you can too, but if you'd like the little
fish tail, finish on it. Fold in and cut
on the open side. The cut in an upward slant. And you can just
make as many as you NYK as an accent piece, which I put on my little ducky, which is KID put a
hair bow on the back. I mean a hair clip on the back. You just click your hair. Or if you like a wine
glass, tie it around. But as I said, make sure
that when you tie it around, just cut it to the length that
you want after it's done. That's it.
