finished white felt bow I decided on the name because this looks exactly like a bow you would buy in a store! It goes together in only a few minutes, with perfect results every time. This is my new all-time fave bow now.

You could attach them to gifts, glue a barrette to the back and use as a hair bow, make a garland, anything! Just make one, you will love it.:)

Total Time: 10 minutes

Supplies:

felt
scissors
glue gun
pen or marker
measuring tape

Steps:

Cut a piece of felt measuring 2 1/2'' tall and 4 1/2'' long. This is the far right piece.

Cut another piece of felt 1 1/2'' tall and 6'' long. This is the far left piece.

You will take your 6'' long piece and cut notches in each end like so.

You will then fold it in half, cutting a small slit to mark the centers on each side.

Now you have something to center your middle notches on.

Cut a final piece 2'' tall and 1/2'' long. This is the bottom piece.

Gather your 4 1/2'' long piece in the center.

Add the notched piece centered directly below.

Wrap your tiny strip around both and hot glue.

All done!
