lets sew some bows

lets have some fun this beat is sick. RAWR it's emilee and i finally made something else. bout time. bows were of a necessity with my summer hair style of messy buns erryday. HERE'S HOW I DID EM.

2 6x2" pieces of fabric.

sewed 3.75 of the 4 sides, leaving small gap in the middle

inside out. scissors help.

guess what you don't even have to sew that part up. tie the rectangle in a knot (unfortunately i only have 2 hands and couldn't take a picture of me tying the knot) but the knot is right at the part which isn't sewed. yay for not seeing any stiches and yay for not having to change the color thread in the sewing machine, ever!

iron down the knot, if you soooo desire.

glue gun the clip on (these definitely work better than bobby pins)

i felt ingenious, and by the 3rd one realized if you cut a small piece of fabric and stick it inside the clip, when you glue it on you don't have to hold the clip apart and wait for the glue to dry. instead the clip is glued to the small fabric part which prevents the problem of hot glue from getting through the hole in the clip and gluing the clip shut. ya get me?

BOWS.

i know i'm like supa cute

DONE.
