I just love bows don't you? Today we made an awesome bow with a hair clip. Please comment down below how much you like this craft and what we should do next time. Lets get started.

What you need:
 Ribbon of any sort about 2-3cm wide
Matching thread & a needle
Scissors
Buttons or beads or sequins or any type of decoration
A large hair clip

Step 1:  Tie a simple bow on one end of the ribbo

Step 2: Cut the bow off - it should look like this.

Step 3: Place your decorations where you want them in your bow.

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
Picture
Step 6: Choose another hole and poke it back down

Step 7: you should make a cross shape like this and do it twice to be secure
Picture
Step 8:  Keep going with all the buttons, moving the thread from button to button underneath the bow do it looks neat.

Step 9:  Your bow should now look like this! Remember to sew through the knot in the middle so that it can't come loose.

Step 10: Now slip your clip into the knot at the back
Picture
Step 11: Sew it down to secure it in place, passing the needle under and over the clip and poking through the bow.

Step 12:  Make it secure like this and you're all done!

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.

Happy Crafting!
