How to Make Big Hair Bows

Last Updated: November 18, 2021

Big hair bows are rather popular right now, but are quite expensive to buy online and very few places sell big bows anyway ~ so here is how to make them. They're actually very quick and simple once you've got the hang of it.

Steps

1
Cut a length of fabric for the main part of your bow. Make it twice as wide as you want your finished bow to be and twice as long. A 2O inch width of fabric is good. But you can measure just by eye.
2
Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, to make a rectangle, with the patterned side of the fabric in the inside. Pin in place.

3
Sew along the long side of the rectangle, to make a tube.
4
Sew along one short end of the rectangle.
5
Fold the tube inside out to show the patterned side of the fabric.
6
Fold the rectangle in half crosswise.
7
Tuck in the exposed end, then sew the two short ends together.
8
Organize the fabric so that the two joined ends are at the back and in the middle of the rectangle. So that you won't see them when the bow is finished.
9
Squeeze the rectangle together in the middle, and play about with how you want your bow to look.
10
Make another, smaller rectangle of fabric and wrap it around the middle of the larger rectangle to hold it in place how you like it.
11
Cut and sew the end of the smaller rectangle, whilst in place around the larger rectangle, leaving space to slot a hair clip or hairband.
12
Finished!

Question

How can I make a bow like Jojo Siwa with glitter?

Community Answer

You could use the same article method above, but switch up the type of material you use to a more girly colour such as pink or purple. You can purchase glittery material or add glitter spray yourself. Otherwise, Jojo Siwa has her own toy merchandise and hair bow kits where you can make your own bow a long with additional cool embellishments to make them look amazing. These kits can be bought from Target and Kmart.

Warnings

Some bows can be very heavy, particularly stuffed ones.
