Flower Bows

These bows might just be my favorite bows yet.  I have always loved the 1960's-1970's look and really enjoy how retro these are.  I made two designs, one out of squares with tulle and one out of circles with some fabric remnants.

Price breakdown:
Alligator Clips
Buttons
4 different fabric remnants
Felt
Hot glue gun
Ribbon 

FREE!

To start out, you will need a small circle of felt and 8 large "squares".  I put that word in quotes because these do not have to be anywhere near perfect.  You will also need 8 squares about half the size of your others.

Take your first square and fold the bottom to the center to create a triangle.

Take the same square and fold it up on the backside the same way.  The result will end with a point at the bottom like below.

Make all 8 of these and glue the edges together at the bottom (remember, a dot is a lot!).  Hot glue onto your felt circle.

Create the same petal shapes with your smaller squares and hot glue them on top of your bottom layer.

Glue your flower to the clip of your choice.  Add a pretty button, cap, brad or whatever you have available to the center for a little embellishment and you have yourself a party bow!

Up next is the more traditional flower bow, this time made from circles.  Cut one large circle from felt, 8 circles from one fabric and 8 smaller from a coordinating colors. Follow the steps above for creating your pointed "petals".

Arrange just like the Tulle bow above and you have yourself one preppy little bow!

Two different styles, one easy method!
