How To Make A Little Bow

There are many ways to make these cute little bows and this is my version.

I am putting up two different ways and looks to a little bow.

I used 3/8″ Ribbon for this bow, but even smaller ribbon, like 1/8″ Solid Grosgrain, works great too.

I don’t cut the ribbon at all before starting. And as always, make sure to have your needle and thread ready.

Make a loop like this-

Then bring the top of the loop down -

Then put your needle and thread through the center. Make sure the loops are even and are how you want them.

Also make sure the top of the ribbon folds toward you when you start to loop the thread around the ribbon. Then just wrap your thread around the bow as normal, tightening until there is no more give.

Cut your ends and seal with your preferred method. I use a lighter.

You can add embellishment to the center with more ribbon, beads, crystal stickers, resins, anything!

Now you’re finished!

Here is another way to loop the ribbon into a small bow. Just follow all the previous steps to finish it.

These bows are so easy to make and you can add them to anything such as crafts, scrapbooking pages, cards, or cute little girls. :)

    Thanks! I tried to do one to top my Christmas tree I did from your previous post and my little bow didn’t look as cute!

    Audra – I am sure it looks great! I say that about every single one of my bows. We are our worst critics. :) I played around with mine for awhile to get it how I wanted it. I bet yours looks fantastic!

    Thanks so much for these hairbow instructions. I am learning to make hairbows for my two little girls because I can not afford to pay 8 and 10 dollars for hairbows. thanks so much again.
