Bowdabra Patriotic tulle hair bow

Learn how to make a cute patriotic tulle hair bow in minutes with the mini Bowdabra hair bow tool with ruler attachment.

You won’t believe how quick and easy you can create this elegant bow. It looks equally well on kids as well as adults. Wear it in your hair or you can even use the alligator clip to attach it to your lapel. Since we are using 6-inch wide tulle the bow is fairly large (about six inches across) so it looks great worn alone. You can use tulle that is 3-inch or 4-inch wide for a smaller bow.

Don’t celebrate the fourth of July this year without wearing the red, white and blue!

Materials:

  • 24 inches of 6-inch wide white and red tulle
  • 10-½” length of ½”wide dark blue grosgrain ribbon
  • 18” Bowdabra bow wire
  • Mini Bowdabra with hair bow tool and ruler
  • Small star charm
  • Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
  • Alligator clip
  • Lighter

Instructions:

  1. Gather your supplies.
