Description I saw some really cool fandom hair bows on Tumblr recently, and I wanted to make my own.  In case anyone else wants to try making the same thing, here's a tutorial.

I used a cotton print I had left over from making a Marvel dress this summer.

Cost of materials: Under $10
Time to Make: 1.5 hours

Do you happen to think that it'd work well with a pony tail holder instead of a clip?
I can never get clips to work with my 2 1/2 foot long pony tail. lol

LauraDoodles In reply to I-Major-In-Magick [2013-11-07 14:56:02 +0000 UTC]

You could try a pony tail holder.  I have really thick hair, so what I do is make a pony tail in a holder first, and then clip the bow to a small portion of hair right above the holder.

Hey, you might want to check out this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Or3QT…


I've done the tutorial before and it worked out great : ) though the result is a bit different and probably won't be as clean

But you can do it completely with hot glue

LauraDoodles In reply to Piirustus [2013-11-07 04:52:07 +0000 UTC]

Cool!  It's neat to see how different people do it.  I bet as long as you hid the rough edges, you could still get a clean look with the hot glue only method.

LauraDoodles In reply to EsebeiDoran [2013-11-06 22:39:29 +0000 UTC]

You can do it!  A sewing machine isn't necessary for this.  Since the bows are so small, you can hand-stitch in no time.

I'll wear it as a bow-tie. Don't know why I'm getting into bow-ties now
