Tutorial Tuesday - Mini Bow Clip

Today's tutorial is another bow tutorial.

Let's face it, it's what I do.
Having a little girl does that to ya!
Sorry if you are bored with them.
But I promise a sewing tutorial for next week! :)

With that promise, let's begin:

Supply List:
{Remember this is enough to make two matching clips}
2 pieces of ribbon cut to 4 inches
2 pieces of ribbon cut to 3 inches
2 pieces of ribbon cut to 2 inches
An Alligator Clip
A Hot Glue Gun

Step 1: Place a small dab of glue inside the top part of the clip,
place one end of the 4 inch ribbon on the glue.
Begin wrapping it around to the top of the clip.

Step 2: Put a dab of glue on the top of the clip and secure the ribbon.

Step 3: Put two small drops of glue inside where the spring is located.
Stuff the ribbon in and secure it in the glue.

Step 4: Glue down the last part of the ribbon to the bottom of the clip.

The bottom of the finished clip will look like this:

Step 6: Now take one of the 3 inch ribbons and place a tiny amount of glue on one end.

Step 7: Wrap it around and form a circle by connecting the other end to the glued end.

Step 8: Place a line of glue inside the circle on the glued seam.
It should look like this:

Step 9: Pinch the ribbon together right over the seam to form a bow.

Step 10: Flip the bow over and put a line of glue on one side of outside seam.

Step 11: Take one of your 2 inch ribbons and place it on the line of glue.
Make sure the patterned side of the ribbon is facing up.

Step 12: Wrap the ribbon around the middle and secure on the other side
to form the middle of your bow.

Step 13: Put glue on the bottom of the bow.

Step 14: Glue it to your ribbon wrapped clip and your done!
