After having 2 boys I am enjoying
all of the frilly, foo-foo stuff that comes with having a girl! I love to dress
her up and have the matching accessories but that can sometimes get a bit
pricey. So I decided that if I wanted to take it easy on the wallet I needed to
figure out how to make bows myself.
I looked online for a tutorial and
came across this free one on how to make a Loopy Puff Bow at The Ribbon Retreat
(http://www.theribbonretreat.com/blog/how-to-make-a-loopy-puff-bow.html).
Then I gathered some matching ribbons and material and set off to work. Instead
of cutting my ribbon and then having to seal the ends with a lighter I cut all
of them with my I-magicut Ribbon Cutter! That came in so handy!! I chose 4
coordinating ribbons and cut 10 pieces of each color to measure 4 inches (40
pieces in all).
Then with needle and thread, loop
each piece and run your needle and thread through the open end alternating
colors until you have all 40 pieces onto thread.
Pull tight so that all the ribbon
pieces gather. Run your needle and thread through the first loop and tie off but
don’t cut your thread just yet. Cut material larger than the Button Daddy and
assemble together. Run your needle and thread through the back part of your
button and tie off. Now you are done and can cut the
thread.
Add a
felt circle and gator clip to your bow and you are ready to sweeten up your
little girl’s look.
