How to Make Child Hair Bows

You can make handmade bows using craft materials.

Fancy hair bows can make an ordinary kid's outfit look more elegant and cute, and can be purchased at a children's specialty store or through an online merchant. If you do not have the means or desire to spend a lot of money on fancy hair bows, you can make your child hair bows more inexpensively by using a few craft supplies that can be bought at an art supply store. This allows you to customize the hair bows to suit your child's outfit.

Things You'll Need

• Tulle fabric
• Scissors
• Metal hair tie
• Hot glue gun
• Hot glue stick
• Glitter glue
• Faceted beads

Instructions

1. Cut a piece of tulle fabric to measure 4 inches wide and 12 inches long.

2. Tie the tulle into a bow.

3. Heat up a hot glue gun for five minutes.

4. Squeeze a dime-sized dollop of hot glue onto the knot of the bow, and press the knot onto a metal hair tie. Let the glue cool and harden for two minutes.

5. Squeeze small dollops of glitter glue onto the tulle fabric in random locations.

6. Press small faceted plastic jewels onto the dollops of glitter glue. Let the glue dry before putting the hair bow in your child's hair.
