How to Incorporate Felt Strips to Create a unique Spring Hair Bow

A spring hair bow doesn’t have to be just about ribbons. Add interest to a spring hair bow with an uncommon component—felt strips. The Bowdabra® Bow Making & Design Tool makes is easy.

Gather these supplies for your Unique Spring Hair Bow:

• Twelve 5″ x ½” felt strips
• 18″ length of Bowdabra bow wire
• One embellishment of your choice
• One hair clip
• Bowdabra Bow Making & Design Tool
• Hot glue

Let’s Make the Spring Hair Bow

1. Cut 12 strip of felt 5″ x ½”.
2. Fold the Bowdabra bow wire in half and place it in the Bowdabra. You can tuck the wire ends under the Bowdabra so they are out of the way.
3. Reserving one strip, layer 11 of the felt strips in the Bowdabra. (Note: You can add more felt strips for a fuller/larger bow.)
4. Compress the strips with the Bowdabra wand.
5. With the felt strips still in the Bowdabra, pass the ends of the bow wire through the loop, and tighten. Tie a secure knot on the reverse side of the bow. Leave the wire ends long.
6. Use the reserved felt strip to wrap around the center of the bow covering the knot in the bow wire. Secure in place with a dot of hot glue.
7. Trim excess wrapping strip and bow wires.
8. Hot glue the hair clip in place on the back of the bow.
9. Hot glue your selected embellishment to the center front of the bow.
