When I was a kid, I remember I used to wear a bow hair clip every day. My mom bought us bows in different colors and sizes, so I had a lot of choices to choose from. This memory inspired me to make my own bows. So, a few weekends ago, I tried to make them using my fabric scraps. I quickly learned that I am not great at making bows. They always turned out wonky. I tried it several times before giving up. So, I decided to search if there’s a quick way to make perfect bows. Then, I found this awesome tutorial by Brilliant Art on YouTube. Who knew it was this easy and fast to make? I planned to turn them into bow hair clips and save the remaining ones for future gifts.
