How to make a bow for Last Call with your own hands

how to make a bow

The last bell is a good tradition of farewell to school graduates. The end of a carefree childhood, an independent, adult life lies ahead. Of course, on this day everyone wants to look beautiful, especially girls. Therefore, I propose to make a bow for Last Call with your own hands.
For this we need:
  • - white satin ribbon 4–5 cm wide;
  • - white felt;
  • - scrunchy;
  • - rhinestones;
  • - glue gun;
  • - scissors;
  • - white thread and needle.

1 Method.
Step 1. Cut the satin ribbon into 15 pieces (4 cm wide and 12 cm long).

Step 2. Making the first petal. Bend the ribbon in half. We also bend each half in half towards the center. Use a small stitch to secure the middle of the petal.

Step 4. Cut off the bumps from the bottom. Using a candle or a regular lighter, we melt the edges of the petal, thereby securing the desired shape and preventing the ribbon from unraveling. In this way we make 15 petals.

Method 2 is simpler and faster.
Step 1. Take a satin ribbon 5 cm wide and 1 meter long. We sew triangles with short stitches, while pulling them together, so we sew until the end of the ribbon.

Step 2. We secure the end of the ribbon with threads. We got something like petals. We sew the ends of the petals with thread along the entire length of the ribbon and tighten them.

    Great! The hunt for bows is cancelled, let's do it ourselves. And what a savings, a meter of ribbon costs 20-30 rubles, and a finished bow costs from 150. Thank you for the timely master class - the first of September is in a week.
