When the voguish side of my brain ceases function and decides to go dormant for a short while ( hence lack of #ootd posts), the creative side of it takes over and comes to the forefront……..after all a periodical break to the most used part is essential in balancing the equilibrium , am I right ?
When this switch happens, I get crafty and can spend hours browsing through pinterest for DIY inspirations. So when I stumbled upon this, I leaped into action right away and rest is history. The sweet part – “I had all the tools at home, so there was $0 spent making this….literally !” I ended up making 2 hair bow clips and later realized that these could be used as gift wrap toppers and other decorative purposes as well.
P.S- thanks to my three year old for modelling these. Was bit of a challenge to keep her still but we managed….so a big shout out to my lil model !!!
You’ll need:-
Tulle rolls – I had this eggplant color handy, so I used these.
pair of scissors
glue
assortment of clips, booby pins and ornate buttons and embellishments.
1) Cut a foot long strip of the tulle, that will be used later as the tie.
2) Start rolling the tulle around your fingers. I rolled around 20 times for the fuller bow. For a smaller bow keep the fingers close together and a little looser for a bigger bow.
3) Now carefully slide out the roll, lay it on the foot long strip ( from step 1) and tie a knot.
4) Grab the clip/headband you wish to use, slide the strip through the clip, crisscrossing the two ends of the strip. This will help in keeping the clip/ pin together. Now make the final knot and cut the extra strip.
5) Glue the button/ embellishment and voila !
Hope you enjoyed this easy 5 minute DIY !
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
