🪡 Cutting Guide

Step 1: Attach the Elastic

Cut the elastic to the correct length for your chosen size.

Sew one end of the elastic to one end of the headband.

then sew the other end to the opposite end of the headband. Secure your stitching at both ends.

Step 2: Align the Bow Layers

Place the two prepared bow layers together, lining up their centers.

Step 3: Sew a Running Stitch to Gather and Pinch the Center

Using a needle and thread, sew a running stitch along the center of the layered bow pieces. Gently pull the thread to gather the bow layers.

Wrap the thread around the pinched center several times to hold the gathers in place. Tie the thread securely.

Step 4: Position the Bow on the Headband

Place the double bow on the headband, lineup center with the band and hold the pieces together

Step 5: Wrap the Center Piece

Wrap the fabric center piece around the middle of both the bow and the headband. This holds the bow and band together and covers the gathered center.

Bring the ends of the center piece to the back and sew them securely in place.

Keep the stitches neat and hidden at the back.
