bigger boys and stolen sweethearts

Made this DIY hair bow today, yay for dressing like a five year old! At the moment I really love overly childish or pretty things like that though.

I found a scrap of fabric in my room and thought it would look quite good good as a bow, which is lucky cause I was planning to buy a hairbow anyway. Think I was supposed to be revising, but I made this instead.

And sorry for the really messy hair, haha this is why I hate using flash!

EDIT: I was asked to do a tutorial, erm as you probably know now I'm awful at explaining things, but basically this is what I did...

1. Cut a rectangle of fabric, (as large as you like, but remember the bow will be half as big as what you cut) and cut another smaller rectangle piece as well ( I chopped mine off the end of the first one, mine was about an inch thick but you can do whatever, make sure it's a lot smaller than the original rectangle, this bit will make the "knot" in the middle)
2. Sew the opposite shorter ends of the rectangle together. So now you have a loop of fabric, and a random other piece.
3. Then you just pinch the middle of the loop, so that it looks a bit like a bow, and wrap the other piece around the middle quite tightly, and sew it secure. Mine was kind of a trial-and-error diy, so I can't quite remember the exact things I did, aha but if you have any questions just ask :)
