Hair Bows
There aren’t many things cuter than a little girl wearing her favorite dress, complimented with an adorable hair bow. Hair bows are a unique and wonderful addition to nearly any outfit in a child’s wardrobe. While serving the purpose of style, hair bows and hair clips also keep your little one’s hair from becoming messy and keep them looking clean cut and beautiful. Since the appearance of a child reflects their parent, bows not only make your little girl look more presentable and well kept, but are a great indication that you care about your child and how they look on a daily basis.
Hair bows are targeted to basically any age group you can think of, from newborns to the elderly. Baby hair bows are an extremely popular item for newborns, and are generally softer and more comfortable than hair bows intended for older consumers. They will most likely use a weak elastic band to stay on, which is more gentle on the baby’s soft head. There are many different styles and types of hair bows, and can feature flowers, characters, shapes, and various holiday themed bows. No matter what outfit you or your child decides to wear, there is no doubt you can find the perfect hair bows to compliment any wardrobe choice.
If you are a “do-it-yourselfer,” you can actually make hair bows on your own relatively easily. If you are wondering how to make hair bows out of simple ribbons and other materials, you’ll want to first:
Gather materials: go to your local hobby store and purchase the type of ribbon you want to use. Ribbons come in a wide variety of colors, widths, and patterns, so think about what you want your hair bows to look like exactly. You might want to use different colors and sizes in the same bow to add variety and style. You can opt to purchase materials such as fake flowers to attach to the bow. You will also need to purchase a barrette to fasten the hair bow to your hair. Next, find a thread (or multiple threads) that compliments the color of ribbon you have previously purchased. You will use this thread to attach the ribbon to the barrette, and depending on your sewing ability, use it to add dimension and style variance to your hair bows (don’t forget the needle!). Lastly, you will need either a glue gun or a fabric glue to add the finishing touches.
