This bow can be easily re-created tying a scarf to a barrette. No sewing required!
I used a 60X12 inch silk scarf (I folded it in half to make it 6 inches wide) You can use a smaller scarf, but your bow will be shorter and less full.
Supplies:
- scarf (rectangular, not square) or fabric
- blank hair clip (available at craft stores)
- embroidery floss
 |
| [Fold your fabric in half lengthwise] |
 |
| [Cut a piece of embroidery floss approximately 16 inches long. Tie a knot in the middle of the scarf] |
 |
| [Tie the scarf to the middle of the barrette. Wrap the thread around and knot it a few times to make sure it's secure] |
 |
| [Starting at the knot, fold a section of the scarf over. Take the thread, place it underneath the fold and tie a knot. Pull to tighten] |
 |
| [This is what it should like once it has been tightened. Tie the thread around the clip to secure] |
 |
| [Made another 2 loops using the same method as above. Leave a little extra fabric loose for the ends. Take another 16 inch piece of thread, tie it in the middle and repeat the steps on the other side] |
