Obviously Ive been up for hours, but once I got lil dude off to school, I decided to try my hand at this hair bow making deal.
I set out watching video's on Youtube to figure out the layers of a stacked bow. Now the three videos I watched (there are literally THOUSANDS) were not made to the quality I am used to by All Ribboned Out.
So I sat here, with my laptop, the videos and 2 stacked bows from S'te. I watched and twisted ribbon. Watched again, compared to S'te's bow. Twisted more ribbon, compared again... in 1 HOUR I made 1 stacked bow.
The measurements that they give you on the videos dont work out real well for a perfect bow. Over all it isnt bad, but it sure isnt even close to an All Ribboned Out bow LOL
I burned 2 fingers with hot glue, and stuck my self half a dozen times with a needle. I am crafty darnit! I never run into burned fingers from hot glue! Except for the fact that I need 2 more Zebra bows for pictures for the girls, I plan to stick to buying them, for sure!
Bow process:
Ribbon lined alligator clip---- easiest part!
Bag of Alligator clips--- $3.99 Hobby Lobby
My mess in front of the laptop where instruction video is playing on LOOP
Bottom Layer, supposed to be a 4 inch boutique bow LOL
Start of 2 inch loop bow
What is supposed to be a 3 inch boutique bow--- yeah.
Finished Bow umm yeah
Compared to the perfect All Ribboned Out bow LMAO!
I think it looks great for your first bow! Ella would rock it!
