Saturday night I decided it was time to make some more bows for my girls. I always try to make my girls bows/flowers/hair things because I am too cheap to buy them. I feel like if it's something I can do myself, why should I pay someone else a lot more to do it? I am a do it yourselfer (and yes, that's totally a real word!) I feel that way about a lot of things and sometimes get in over my head because I am sure something can't be as difficult as it seems. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, back to the bows...
These are the types of bows I usually make. I guess they aren't really bows, but flowers. I think they're darling and I have quite a collection that I use in my girls' hair every day. Here are a few that I've made:
Well, this time I decided I was going to try my hand at the ribbon kind of bows. I found some cute ones online and some of them had plans. These are the ones I made.
Tada! I think they turned out quite well. Especially for my first time. I love the red ones because the ribbon I used for those was a little bit wider and thicker and they seem to hold their shape a little bit better. I found instructions for those
here.
I love the butterfly and dragonfly ones because they are more unique.
This site also had a bee and a ladybug that were pretty cute.

♡ Very cute!
I do the same thing with not wanting to pay for something I'm sure I can do! :)
They are wonderful!
I never would have thought to make these - you have inspired me!!
It seems like where ever we go someone asks where we got the girls flowers or bows. What a creative mom!

Those are SO cute!
I heart the dragonflies! Totally awesome!
Are your girls in heaven or what?
They are gorgeous. Are you serious. I wanna make some now. I'm going to check out the tutorials. The dragonfly is fabulous.
Those are so adoreable! I'm going to have to try and make some for my girls.
I guess with 5 little girls I should be doing this. I'm just afraid I'll hot glue my fingers together.
i love the flowers!! so great!
The dragonfly and butterfly are totally cute!
I make my own flowers clips all the time. Love having the option of matching it to whatever I want too! I love your results.
Cute bows! I remember having drawers full of bows as a child, and I loved wearing them.
I have only boys now though. so, no bows. Lots of baseball caps. lol
Your children are all adorable!
Wow-- I am soooooooo impressed. They are adorable!!
You have a talent! How cute are the butterfly ones. I love them. Nice job!
I'm the same way, I've made all of Shelby's bows and flowers and she has tons! It's kind of fun to get creative and see what you can make. I've looked on ebay to see what kind of bows are selling then I copy the picture and make them myself. It's a good way to have some variety.
I've been meaning to make some myself after seeing a tutorial several months ago. I have several Gymboree ones to match outfits, but want some bigger ones without paying the price!!
Great work:)
You have an award from me, come on over and collect it :)
Very cute! I am always looking for cute little hair things for my daughter.
Those are adorable...if only Evie had enough hair to pull them off...:)
Those are sooo cute! They look great! I have just started getting interested in making bows for Olivia.

SO cute! I might have to do this as well. You did a great job.
