The bow-shaped hair clips can be used by girls and women with hair of any length. You may want to wear a clasp that matches the dress but cannot find it in the store. In this case, or just if you are feeling creative, you can make one yourself. All you will need is a cloth ribbon, hair accessories, glue or needle and thread.

Steps

Step 1. Choose the ribbon

Silk, velvet, nylon, cotton, wool… everything that unleashes your imagination. However, you should know that some types of fabric (satin) are more difficult to shape. It's best to start with a canneté fabric ribbon, or ribbing, to practice.

Step 2. Decide how you want to place the clip on the hair

There are various types of barrettes, clips, bands and rubber bands available on the market on which the bow can be attached.

Method 1 of 6: Basic Bow

The perfect bow is tied differently from how you would tie your shoelaces.

Step 1. Fold the bow around the chosen hair accessory

Step 2. Cross the right side over the left side

Step 3. Place the left part under the right and tie tightly

Step 4. Fold both ends to create a loop

Step 5. Cross the left ring over the right

Step 6. Place the left loop under the right one and tie tightly

Step 7. Arrange the bow so that the loops are the same size and height

This is the easiest staple to place on a spring. You can make one, two or three rings.

Step 1. Start with two ribbons of approximately 15 centimeters

Step 2. Make a loop with the overlapping ends and place it on the clothespin

Step 3. Slip the second ribbon between the clothespin and tie it around the first loop

Step 4. Turn the knot under the clothespin so that it is not visible

Step 5. Arrange the tails of the jib

Advice

  • Paint a thin strip of hair polish on the ends of the ribbon to keep it from coming apart. Make sure to let the nail polish dry completely before you start making the desired bow.
  • The Christmas bow makes a great gift for your girlfriends.
  • Ribbons and clothespins can be bought at any haberdashery.
  • There is a type of ribbon with thin iron wire inside the fabric. This way you can style the bow of your choice and it will keep the shape without further seams.
