Before we left, I rushed to complete lots of projects including some new hair bows for Jilly (as if she didn't already have enough...) These seemed easy and cute, so I made them with my own little twist. I made all of mine different sizes, but my favorite size (the pink one on Jilly) was 3" x 3 1/2".
{Sorry for a naked model- we were busy packing and crafting so things like getting dressed took a back seat.}
Instead of sewing only around 3 sides like the tutorial says, I sewed around the whole thing except for about an inch on one side. It was still easy to pull through and then the corners looked more even.
After pulling through I topstitched over the whole bow then twisted it and used floral wire to keep it tight. I wasn't in love with the wire being visible so I cut a little strip about 1 inch wide and 2ish inches long and ironed the edges in so it looked nice. Then I hot glued the strip around the middle. (I hope that makes sense, I meant to take pictures during this step but it didn't happen, sorry.)
Finished bows
