Guest Blogger Abby from I -- Create!

Hey everyone! I am Abby from i---create. On my blog I share crafts, tutorials, and recipes. I would love if you could stop by and check it out sometime. I am so delighted to be on Pink Lemonade today!Here is a tutorial on how to make bows.  They can be hair bows or sewn onto clothes.  Really anything you like!


Step 1: Cut a 4x6 inch rectangle of fabric.  Fold it in half the "hotdog" way.


Step 2: Sew along the short side and 1/3 of the way into the middle. Repeat so both sides are sewn.

Step 3: Turn it right side out and tuck the hole in. (you may need to iron this)
Step 4: Take a 1x2.5 inch piece of fabric and iron the sides under 1/4 inch.




Step 5: fold the sides in and wrap the small piece of fabric around.  I use fabric tack glue to secure it, but you can hand sew if you like.


You're done!

I attached a barrette to the back of the bows so I can wear them in my hair.You can attach them to bobby pins or safety pins.  There are so many options with bows!

I have a giveaway going on at my blog right now. You can stop by and check it out if you like. Thanks again to Pink Lemonade for having me.

Now I have a question for you: What would you attach these adorable bows to?

  5. made a fleece snake for my daughter off a tutorial from someone else...wanted to make it a little more girly, but I didn't think a ribbon bow would work for it. I used some fleece to make a bow and it's awesome! I'd share a link to a picture, but for some reason it's not working...
    Thanks for a great way to make bows!
