Make Pinwheel Hair Bows

Materials Needed:

1. Ribbon cut to desired length
2. Cardboard templates (optional)
3. Jumbo salon clip
4. Embroidery floss

Step 1:
Pinwheel Bow – These instructions utilize a cardboard template. (below) This is not necessary, but will ensure that you will get uniform bows each time. This is great for making matched sets. To make the template cut the cardboard to the desired width. It should be about ½” wider than the finished bow size. Cut out the exact middle. This will be where you place the clip to slide the ribbon off the template.



Step 2:
Take the ribbon and align with the top of the template.

Step 3:
Wrap the ribbon up the back of the template.

Step 4:
Wrap the ribbon down the front of the template.

Step 5:
Wrap the ribbon up the back of the template again.

Step 6:
Wrap the final length of ribbon down the front template. Trim any excess ribbon.

Step 7:
Take the jumbo salon clip and place it in the middle of the template where you cut made the cut in the cardboard.

Step 8:
Carefully slide the ribbon off the template being careful not to move any of the loops. Make sure the ribbon is tightly held with the clip and that that clip doesn’t move from the middle of the clip.

Step 9:
Wrap the embroidery floss around the ribbon while it is still in the clip two times.

Step 10:
Tightly pull the floss and tie the floss. Trim the edges for the desired finished look.
