The Easy Peasy 3-layer bow (St. Patrick's Day)

Hey guys!! Just in time for St. Patrick's day, I decided to make this bow for my little princess!




What You Will Need:
*Scissors
*Hot glue gun
*rubber bands
*Elastic ribbon (for headband....clip if you're going to use a clip)
*3 pieces of 19inch ribbon 1-1 ½ inch wide....they can be the same color, I am using different colors and patterns
*8 inch piece of ribbon (it can be the same as one of the ribbons you are using or different)
*Felt (if you are using it)

First cut all of your pieces of ribbon to the desired size.  If you want a bigger bow than use longer pieces. I'd do 30 inch pieces.


Now take one of your 19 inch long pieces of ribbon and fold it as such....


Pinch the center.
Add Rubber Band


Fold all three to look the same

Then stack them on each other not directly on top of each other turn each just a little bit so you can see each bow and rubber band them all together!!


Then take your 8 inch ribbon and tie it in a knot.


Now you will need your hot glue gun.
Glue the knot of the ribbon to the middle of your bows
Then fold over each side and glue....cutting the excess ribbon like with yesterdays.


Pull out the ribbon so it fluffs up
It should look something like this

If you are making it into a headband get your elastic and glue the ends together
Then take your piece of felt and glue it to the headband where the ends come together.


Then glue your bow to the felt on the headband


TA DA! Your Easy Peasy 3 layered bow!!

If you are using a clip then do as we did yesterday.  You can either glue ribbon to the clip and then glue the bow on, or you can glue the bow right onto the clip....some people wrap the center knotted ribbon of the bow right around the clip and glue it to the clip.

HAPPY BOWING!!!

TTFN!
