My 2 year old daughter has been blessed with lots of hair. However, the only things she will let me put in her hair are very girlie hair bows. I found some great hair bows at a craft show this past winter but, they were quite pricey. I asked the woman who made them how she did it. She explained and it seemed simple enough. So, now that I am finally finding a bit of free time in my schedule I thought I'd give it a shot.
As always, I headed to my computer to search for tutorials on how to make hair bows. I didn't think there would be many free ones, but luckily I was wrong. I found some great sites that make hair bow crafts super easy. These are the ones I keep going back to:
I'm just starting out and I wanted to test the waters before buying supplies in bulk. So, I found everything I need to start making hair bows at my local Michael's and Sally's Beauty Supply stores (click on store name to find a location near you). I purchased the Mini-Bowdabra at Michael's for $9.99. It is helpful but, you can make lots of different kinds without much at all. The basic supplies I used to get started and their estimated costs were:
Scissors- Lighter, $0.99
- High Temp Hot Glue Gun, $3
- Glue Sticks, free (3 came with glue gun)
- Bow Wire, $0.99 (to tie off the bow)
- Alligator Clips, $2-3
- Ribbon, $1-$4 each
