🎀 HOW TO MAKE PERFECT VELVET BOWS 🎀 These stacked velvet bows are absolutely gorgeous and look adorable on Christmas wreaths/trees and in holiday hairstyles (just replace the twist tie with a barrette or hair tie)! The French blue velvet ribbon was particularly perfect for our coastal-inspired Christmas kitchen decor this year 💙 Here’s how to make them—⁠ ⁠ 1) Cut 5 pieces of velvet ribbon— 4.5 inch, 8 inch, 11 inch, and two 5 inch for the tails.⁠ (2) Bring both ends of the 11-inch piece to the center and secure with a line of hot glue to create a loop. Repeat with the 8-inch piece.⁠ (3) Hot glue the small loop on top of the large loop and then position the 5-inch pieces in a V-shape underneath to create the tails. Once they’re where you want them, hot glue the tails in place. ⁠ (4) Use floral wire to cinch the center of the bow (as tight or loose as you like) and then thread an addition piece of wire (about 6” long) underneath to create a twist tie. If you’re making a velvet bow for your hair, use a hair tie or barrette instead of wire (you won’t be able to thread it underneath, but you’ll secure it in the next step). ⁠ (5) Take the last piece of ribbon (4.5-inch piece), draw a line of hot glue in the center longways, and fold in the top and bottom edges of the ribbon (to basically cut it in half). Apply a dab of hot glue on the center of the bow, and then wrap the last piece around to cover the wire and secure the twist tie in place.⁠ (6) Trim the tails of the bow (if you like), fluff out the sides to make it more full, and enjoy your perfect little velvet bows!⁠ ⁠ Follow along for more Christmas decor inspo and DIY holiday project ideas!
