2" Mini Basic Bow

I love to make these with my ribbon scraps.
Someday Rylee will have hair,
and I will have quite the collection to adorn her lovely locks!

Supplies List:
7/8" Grosgrain Ribbon Scrap
3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon Scrap
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
Lighter - to heat seal
Needle and Thread

Tutorial:
Step 1) Use a scrap or cut piece of 7/8" grosgrain ribbon to 3 1/2".
Prep the ribbon by heat sealing the ends.
Step 2) Fold the ribbon in half.
Step 3) Create a crease.
Step 4) Bring the ends to the middle crease,
and overlap just a little bit.
Step 5) Now with a needle and thread,
make a running stitch through the middle.
Step 6) Pull through and wrap the thread around the center.
Tie it off in the back of the bow.
Step 7) Cut a piece of 3/8" grosgrain ribbon to 2 1/4".Step 8) Place a small amount of glue on either side
of the center ribbon.
Fold to meet in the middle as shown:
Step 9) Place a dab of glue where you will be wrapping the ribbon.
Wrap the folded part (shown in step 8) around the center,
and then cut off the excess and glue closed.
Add your favorite clip or bobby pin and your done!

Oh Lara! How cute, I have tons of scraps like that and I just love that size of bow on Eden right now where she has just enough hair to have a clip without a headband! We really should have a bow making party or something!!
