wednesday crafternoon with elsa

i love bows. mainly, its bow ties that i specifically love the most, but since i have yet to see bow ties in fashion for women, i must settle for bows myself.  and it seems as if not matter how hard i try, tying a ribbon into a bow just never seems to turn out perfect. until i found the cutest way to have my perfect bow with felt! so i thought i'd share:

all you need is felt, scissors, and a glue gun


start with a strip of felt about 2 inches wide and 9 inches long.

meet the ends in the middle and glue down.

pinch in the middle and form the way you want, putting little dabs of glue to in between them.

then cut another piece an inch wide and 2 inches long and wrap it around the center

i prefer to glue the band together and not to the back of the bow, 
so that way i can fit bobbypins through it

voila! super cute right? and if you want you can add little ends to it. 
i think its cute :)
