Learn How to Make Decorative Bows and Use Them As Gifts

After you learn how to make decorative bows you will then need some ideas on how you can use your decorative bow. Decorative bows and gift bows are great additions to any present, package, basket, or vase. Try adding your decorative bow to the handle of a basket and then filling the basket with all kinds of goodies. You can even make a decorative bow using ribbon that will coordinate with the theme of your basket.

Decorative bows are a great touch to a hand-made item you are giving as a gift. For example, you can place a decorative bow around a ceramic vase or a framed piece of artwork or framed photo. You can even wrap the gift first and then place your decorative bow on the outside of the wrapped package.

I also like to use decorative bows as part of the gift itself. Try creating a beautiful centerpiece with items you can find in the craft store. Then add bows throughout and finish off with pillar candles; you can even place decorative bows at the base of the candle. Another way to use decorative bows as part of a gift would be to create a wreath (or even buy a ready made plain wreath at the craft store) and then decorate it with ribbon wrapped around the wreath with decorative bows (one or even a few) to jazz it up.

People just love hand-made items to show that you put time into making their gift for them. Decorative bows are a great way to use some beautiful ribbon and just a few other supplies to create a gorgeous decoration for any gift. Add that special touch to your gift by finishing it off with decorative bows.

Learn How To Make Hair Bows for All Occasions and Holidays

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make hair bows for every holiday for your little girl? Luckily it is very easy to do. Craft stores offer a large variety of ribbon before every major holiday and for every season. You can also find other colors, patterns, and designs of ribbon to make hair bows for sporting events, new babies, graduations, birthdays, and just about anything you can think of. Take a minute to walk through the ribbon aisle at your local craft store; well, it might take you more than a minute because there are so many beautiful choices. Now you have an idea of the various types of ribbon available to make hair bows for any occasion you might have over the course of a year.

The next thing I recommend would be to walk down the button embellishment aisle where you can find all types of buttons in the shapes of various objects, characters, and letters. These are perfect ways to easily embellish your hair bows for the holidays after you make hair bows. Also, just before a major holiday, the craft stores will have extra embellishments for sale for that holiday. Of course the prices will be significantly lower just after the holiday ends, so if you are planning to make hair bows the following year as well, then would be a good time to pick up some extra embellishments when you make hair bows all year-round.

As you can see, with a little creativity and planning at the craft store, you will find it very easy to make hair bows for any and all occasions. Your little girl will certainly enjoy having a fun accessory for every occasion when you make her a hair bow for each holiday and special day. Hair bows for any occasion are also a great gift. For our wedding this past October, we gave our three flower girls a beautiful hand-made hair bow that they got to wear for the wedding and then keep. It was certainly a big hit to make a wedding party hair bow and give three girls the gift of beautiful hair bows.
