How to make a Christmas Tree Hair bow

Isn’t this just the cutest thing?!?  Sorry, I realize I post a lot of girlie things.  What can I say – girlie stuff is so fun!

1. Cut six pieces of 3/8″ (9.5mm) grosgrain ribbon: Two pieces that are 2.75″ (7cm), two pieces that are 2.5″ (6.35cm), and two pieces that are 2″ (5cm).
   

   
2. Fold and glue ribbons as shown.

4. Glue 2.5″ loops as shown.
   

   
5. Glue 2″ loops as shown.
   

   
6. Make a knot (same as tying shoes).
   
   
   
7. Adjust so the 2 loops are even.
   

   
8. Pull the ends so the loops are small enough for the tree top.
   

   
9. Cut the ends of the gold ribbon so the bow top covers about 3/4″ of the tree.
   

   
10. 

    

    Glue bow top to the tree.

11. 

    

    Clip it onto hair.
