Take a Bow...a Boutique Hair Bow, that is!

So, not only am I constantly fixing Marley's hair, but I am now making hair bows. So far, I have attempted Boutique, Pinwheel and Stacked Bows and Loopy Surround-A Bows.

Today I put Double Lattices on Marley's Hair with an angled off-center part.

She was wearing this outfit (which her Nana bought her) which mostly consists of White, Pink and Green. We don't have any matching hair accessories, so I decided to whip up a couple Boutique Bows. It only took me 20 minutes to do 2! Not bad considering I just started 2 days ago!

Finished Hair 'Do with 2 Boutique Bows to match her outift. Ouila!

Girly Bows

Here is a Stacked Pinwheel Bow. I still need some practice with this style of bow because you are suppose to see the dovetail ribbon ends at the top & bottom. I used light pink 7/8" grosgrain ribbon, white 5/8" grosgrain ribbon and light pink with white dashes 3/8" grosgrain ribbon.

Patriotic Bows Here are 2- 4th of July Loopy Surround-A Bows. I used quite a few ribbons for this bow. These were the very first bows I made and I think they turned out pretty good. There is definitely room for improvement in these bows (it took me 2 hours to complete these), but I think I will get better and quicker with practice.

I am excited to see them in my little girl's hair on the 4th of July!

Those are adorable! Marley's got some great hair for fixing. And she must be very good at sitting still too :) The bows look great Ash!
