Step 4: Thread your needle and make a knot at the end.

Step 5: Start sewing on your buttons by poking the needle from underneath the ribbon

Step 6: Choose another hole and poke it back down

Here are some crafty tips:
 If you are not used to sewing - get help from an adult - needles are very sharp and can prick you!!

If you like you can stick the decorations on with a hot glue gun instead of sewing. Make sure to have an adult help you.

 You can attach your bow to a headband or a hair tie too - even a pin to make it  it a brooch.
