Nothing says feminine and girly like Lace! Nothing! Have you seen how trendy it is right now?
With the awesome Flora Lace The Ribbon Retreat now carries, I made these cute little pig tail bows for my baby girl.
I used Pink, Brown, and Off White Lace for these bows. There are so many fun colors to choose from though! Such a fun, yet tough descision!
Good things about lace: 1) It’s inexpensive, 2) You can use it for sewing and crafting, 3) It makes really cute bows, and 4) lace can make anything pretty!
-Supplies-
Lace (about a yard)
Hot Glue Gun
Single Prong Clip
3/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon (to line the clip)
Needle and Thread
First cut 6 pieces of lace to 3 1/2″. I did two each of 3 different colors.
Line the strips of lace in a (vertical) row. Shown above.
Start at the bottom of the row and crimp the lace together at the center.
Take a needle and thread through the center.
Wrap the thread around the center several times. Take a couple of stitches through the back and tie the thread in a knot.
Tie a piece of lace (about 3″ long) in a knot.
Put a dab of hot glue in the center of the front of your bow.
Place the knot over the glue.
Wrap the ends of the lace around, glue to secure and cut the excess lace.
Glue to a single prong clip and you are done!
Such a fast bow! I love cute things like this that whip up so easy! At .60 cents a yard I think we should make these in every color!
Update: I got the pictures back, so now you can see how they look on. Have I mentioned I LOVE lace? Especially this Flora Lace!

this is the cutest bow thank you for the instructions they are so helpful k walker
These are so cute!!! One question… with lace, do the ends fray? Is this a material that needs to be/should be/can be heat sealed? I really like these! I’m definitely going to be making these!
Thanks for another great project!
So cute! I need to order some lace!
love these bows!
can’t wait to try some,they look wonderful
The lace doesn’t fray. No need to seal the ends.
I can’t seem to get the hang of the variation 1 Loopy Bow. I don’t understand which way to go with the ribbon. I have the totte instructions. Can anyone help?
Thank you Cherie!!
Love this!! I’ve had some lace in my stash that I couldn’t figure out what to do with. Thanks for the idea!
How wide is the lace shown?
The lace is 1 1/2″
Just tried it and they came out adorable….Thank u!
oh my goodness! That little girl looks like a little doll in that dress with those bows!
I love this design, I had some extra tulle left over from a tutu and I used these instructions substituting tulle instead of ribbon.
