How To Make A Headband For A New Baby | Hair Bow

Making your own adorable ribbon baby bows for the hair and baby headbands is easier than you think.
These make great gifts for your friends, co-workers, or anyone you think of who might have a little girl at home or one on the way.  They are relatively easy, cheap and fun to make, and if you have extra time and are inclined, think about making a whole bunch of them and selling them at flea markets, church or community events, or even your children’s school events.

Here’s a great step-by-step guide from the folks at e-how.com:

1.    Place stretchy ribbon about two to three inches wide around a babies head to measure the length.
2. Cut the ribbon to your desired length
3. Take two kinds of ribbon to use for a decoration bow and, without cutting from the spool, loop at least three or four times.
4. After you have the ribbon looped to your desired lengths, cut it and sew it together in the middle to hold your bow together.
5. Sew the bow to the headband, either in the middle or on the side; both look cute!
6. Use a glue gun to attach a smaller perhaps, or a jeweled item, or a soft, fuzzy decorative animal, to the center of your ribbon bow.

That’s it.  You’re done.  You can also consider using these same steps to create a cool decoration for a flower hat or a headband to wrap a plain straw hat.  Just measure the length of the hat as your guide and, if you like, use silk flowers or other items instead of ribbons or bows.
