Materials You'll Need
To create this exquisite hair side comb, you will need:
Red patterned fabric ribbon, 1 inch wide, 2 pieces of 7.5 inches long
Red plaid fabric ribbon, 1 inch wide, 1 piece of 6.5 inches long
Hair Side Comb, 1
Pink fabric ribbon, 0.3 inches wide, 1 piece of 2.5 inches long
Hot glue gun with hot glue sticks (pre-heated)
Scissors, 1 pair
Elastic cotton thread, 1 roll
Step-by-Step Tutorial
Follow these instructions carefully to craft your beautiful ribbon bow side comb:
1.Prepare Ribbons with Tape: Take the two 7.5-inch patterned red fabric ribbons and the 6.5-inch red plaid fabric ribbon. Apply double-sided tape to both ends on the back (non-patterned side) of all three ribbons.
2.Create the Plaid Bow: Take the 6.5-inch red plaid ribbon. Fold it in half to find its centerline. Peel off the protective paper from the double-sided tape at both ends and adhere the ends to this centerline. Now, with the ribbon secured, pinch three pleats along the direction parallel to the ribbon. Firmly bind the middle of the pleated ribbon with elastic cotton thread, wrapping about 15 times. Tie securely and snip the thread. Your plaid bow is complete.
3.Create and Join Patterned Bows: Take the two 7.5-inch patterned red fabric ribbons. Using the same method as in Step 2 (folding ends to the centerline, pinching three pleats, and binding with cotton thread), create two individual single bows. Once done, apply hot glue to the side of the elastic-wrapped section of one patterned bow. Attach the side of the other patterned bow to this glued area, forming a charming side-by-side double bow.
4.Assemble Main Bow Layers: Apply hot glue to the top of the combined patterned bows (at the elastic-wrapped center). Carefully place and adhere the plaid bow (from Step 2) on top of the patterned bows, creating a multi-layered bow assembly.
5.Wrap with Pink Ribbon: Take the 2.5-inch pink fabric ribbon. Wrap it around the central, elastic-bound part of the assembled bows, covering the threads. Apply hot glue to both ends of the pink ribbon and secure them to the back/bottom of the bow assembly.
6.Prepare Hair Side Comb: Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the top edge of the Hair Side Comb.
7.Attach Bow to Comb: Carefully position the center of your assembled layered bow onto the glued top edge of the Hair Side Comb. Gently pinch to secure, holding until the hot glue sets firmly.
Your chic double-layered ribbon bow hair side comb is now complete! This elegant accessory will beautifully complement your hairstyles, adding a touch of sophisticated charm.
