Crafty Mama: Free Bow tutorial part 1

Ive been making these cute rainbow ribbon bow hairclips for the upcoming school fete. Theyre so easy to make that my 6yr old made a couple as well.

To start with you need 2 different ribbons. I used one a thickness of 2.5cm, and the thinner one is 1cm wide. It works best if your smaller ribbon is less than half the width of the wider ribbon

You also need craft glue (most work) and snap clips. I used 5cm long ones to suit the width of the ribbon I'm using.............

First cut the larger ribbon into 14cm long strips, I make several clips at the one time............

Next fold one end into the centre of the ribbon...........................................Go to tutorial part 2
