How to...

make flower bow clips. Again, for those of us that aren't so creative but try to be.

Here's what you'll need for the most part:



Choose fake flowers for your bows.

Pop the tops off. It should be really easy.



Begin to pull the back off.



Then peel it piece by piece until nothing else is stacked. It might look something like this.



Leaving all of the plastic pieces behind, stack your petals again.



Grab a cute fabric brad. (You can find them in the scrapbook section of most any store)



Push the brad through the hole created once you've re-stacked the flower petals.



Here is what the flower petals should look like from the front and back. I made sure that my flower petals were tilted every other row to get the optimum body and view of petals.



Here are all of the flower pieces that I created for Evie.



Now measure ribbon to fit your hair clip. Make sure to wrap it all of the way around from underneath the clip.





Cut the ribbon at that length and then apply hot glue. Place the ribbon on the under part of the clip. Then wrap around to the top and then again to the back...



...like so!



This is what the top of your clip should now look like.



Taking the flower and brad combination that you've created, glob on a big circle of hot glue.



Attach to the end of the clip and let dry/affix upside down like this.



Here's a view of the front and back of the bows.



Here are all of my bows for the birthday girl, Evie.



Here's what the clips look like when clipped into hair.



Here's Evie's bow holder...bows now included!



After viewing the photo I had to add a little something to the top to make it stand out a bit more. It was just too boring. I didn't want it to take away from the bottom part, but I wanted a simple detail as well. I think the small white bow helped quite a bit.



And that's how you make a bow holder, big flower bows and small bow clips.

Pheew. I'm pooped.
