fabric bows



One of my friends bought a couple of bows like this at a hair salon and we decided we wanted to try and make them ourselves.
You get cotton fabric any colors you want and some tulle. Cut them out in the shape you want...I have seen them in flower shapes, stars...basically whatever you want and are able to cut out...if you have a cricut then you can cut fabric with that as well. Cut out at least eight pieces of fabric so you can layer them back to back. Then to get a permanently stiff look or wrinkled look to the bow use a fabric stiffener, which can be found at most craft stores. Follow the directions on the stiffener and then once the fabric is dry use hot glue to layer the fabric.
For your final touch add a cute rhinestone or brad to the center for an embellishment!

More Ideas...

Custom monogram for last name... I covered mine in paper but then after talking to one of my sisters whom I made a letter B for, she is going to add flowers to hers. I think that will be really cute and I just might make another one with flowers for my daughters room with a letter A for Abigail.
Prices vary according to size.
