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.
