Make Gingerbread Hair Bow

It’s July and Bowdabra is celebrating Christmas in July with this cute gingerbread man hair bow. There are only 5 months left before Christmas so be prepared and start crafting right now. When Christmas rolls around you can relax and enjoy the season!

Note: You can make this bow without the hair bow tool and ruler but I find it easier to use it for perfect sizing when making bows. The Bowdabra hair bow tool and ruler is an extra attachment for your Mini Bowdabra that you may purchase separately.

Supplies:

  • Bowdabra Mini bow maker
  • Bowdabra hair bow tool and ruler
  • 1 ½” wide faux burlap wired ribbon
  • White rickrack, small size
  • Tiny white pompoms
  • Small wiggle eyes
  • Scrap of red felt
  • Glue gun and hot glue sticks
  • Scrap of tan felt
  • Alligator clip

Instructions:

  1. Gather your supplies. Cut three pieces of the tan ribbon, 10” (legs) 8” (arms) 4” (head)
