Supplies:
- Headband (mine was busted)
- Ribbon (I used 7/8″ wide for this size bow, but you should adjust measurements below according to ribbon width)
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun











(If you’re wondering, I’m gazing down at my toilet.) Let me know if you make one! :)

If you keep posting this cute stuff, I am going to show up on your doorstep (I don’t live that far away, and I teach practically halfway to you!) and DEMAND that we make cute stuff all weekend long. Because a) I am not as crafty as you and b) We need to just become BFF’s already. In real life.

Amy: No seriously, can you just show up one day? Because everyday I’m more and more convinced we’d be BFFs.
Tia: I’ve become totally lazy. I used to go through 10 more steps, haha

Adorable! I’m so going to do this. I have a huge drawer full of dozens of different kinds of ribbon. I need to do SOMETHING with it.

Long time reader, first time commenter!
I totally made a headband and 2 bow clips all the way in New Zealand – thanks to this tutorial!
I also made the necklace the night before and got so many comments about it!
So thankyou for the inspiration and bing on lots more tutorials!

I love your shower curtain, too. And your headband. They always hurt my head when I wear them and it makes me so sad.
