Doll Hair Bows

Christmas is over and the recovery is on!  I have a little set of bows to share with you today that I created for my little girl as part of her Christmas present.  Her big dream for this request was an American Girl Doll.  It was a first for her!  She loves to do hair, so I wanted to make her some little bows to use in her new doll's hair that were just the right size!

This lucky little doll has her own, one of a kind bows!  Today I am going to share with you how I created these bows.  And don't worry, they are quick and easy...especially with the right tools in hand!

I created several different little bows.  The key to making this work easily is to use ribbon that is less than 1/2" wide.  

I purchased some smaller clips that are about 1 1/2 inches long.  Perfect for a very little girl or a doll!  --To start you will want to cut a 4 inch strip of ribbon.

-Cover the top of the clip with fabric glue or hot glue (something that dries fast).  
-Then begin at one end and tack it down and create a loop until you get to the other side.  
-Add glue to the center and smash down the middle with your finger.

-Cut down the excess and use that to create the middle of your bow
-Add a dab of glue tot he center and wrap the piece around the center, securing it with glue to the bottom of the clip.
-Trim off excess.

-After allowing it to dry overnight, it should be ready for doll hair!
