Yes, the professional boutique bow makers use a template for making hair bows. Look below my photo tutorial and explanation. I've also found a nice illustrative video with free hair bow instructions for you.

How to Make Hair Bows Like Professionals

* Cardboard for template

* ribbon

* scissors, needle with a thread (with a knot ready to go) and a pin.

* clips

* hot glue gun and a heat sealer (for sealing the ends of the ribbon), a lighter will do perfectly:)

I made a 4,5 in. /11,4 cm. wide template out of a cardboard.

I cut 7/8 in. /2,22 cm. wide ribbon into a 22 in./56 cm. long piece. Cut the ends in an angle and heat sealed.




Start like so. Secure one end of the ribbon to the template with an alligator clip. About 0,5 in./1 cm. from the edge.




Wrap the ribbon around and around the template.

Make sure both of the ribbon ends have equal distance from the template edges. Adjust if necessary.

Put the pin through the center of the ribbon. Move your clips and slide the ribbon off the template.

Then you're going to start pulling out the top loop to the right. Then inner loop and the tail are going to go to the left. When you do that it will start to pull the bottom ribbons apart. So that loop will come out to the left and the top loop and the tail are going to go out to the right.





Do that and an wide X will form.

NB! Take care to keep the ribbon on the back straight, otherwise it will mess up your bow.

Then take your needle and starting at the top insert it from the back. Stitch once, second time right under the pin and once more towards the bottom. Like so your needle will go through three times. Squeeze your bow together, two peaks make a nice crease. Pull the thread tight, wrap around the bow a few times and secure off.






Now, your twisted boutique bow is almost ready.

Add the center and a clip. I made a 7/8 in. /2,22 cm. knotted center.








I added an alligator clip.




Here's a video I've found for you. It's bit long - 8 minutes, but it's really clear.




You can easily follow it when making hair bows for girls.
