Making a simple headband bow

Sometimes we use the same bows in our wreaths as you can see on headbands and similar accessories. These kind of bows are fairly simple to craft! Today we would like to show you how to craft such a headband bow. If you don't have a glue gun, you can do it with regular glue as well.

Like mentioned above, it doesn't have to be a glue

gun. Regular glue will work just fine. Other than that

you will need a ribbon of your choice and maybe

some pearls, gemstones or whatever you would like

yo use to decorate your bow. Your bow will have half

the length of the ribbon you are going to use.

Fold the ribbon in half by putting the ends exactly

together. 

Press down the part in the center of the ribbon.

You will now have a line running through the vertical 

center of the ribbon.

Add some glue among the line. You have to work

quickly so the glue won't get hard or dry.

Bring each end of the ribbon to the center, and glue

them together. This is what the side will look like that

has the glue seam.

Turn the ribbon around. You are now facing the side

without the seam. Fold the ribbon in a half vertically.

Add a small drop of glue to the center of it and press it 

together. Make sure that both ends of the seam match

perfectly.

This is what it should look like while you are pressing

it together.

If you let go off the ribbon, this is what the side without

the seam should look like, after you glued the center together.

    Now turn it around so you can face the side with the 

     glue seam. Fold the sides with the seam ends towards 

the center. Put a small drop of glue in the center of 

each of the two gaps.

This is how it should look like while you press the 

glue together.

This is how the front (the side without the original seam)

will look like.

Since we don't want people to see the glue stains on our

bow, we decided to attach a small ribbon and wrap it 

around the middle. You can as well put a gemstone,

diamond or something similar to it.

If you attach a small ribbon to it, put a drop of glue in

the center on top of the bow. 

Attach one end of the ribbon to it. Wrape it around once or twice.

Add a drop of glue to the backside of the bow in order

to attach the other end ot it.

And the result will be a beautiful headband bow. You can

use any sort of ribbon for it, however, you will need some

experience to make it look neat with sheer ribbon.
