DIY LOUNGE - HANDMADE ANKARA BOWS

Am not a big fan of accessories ( hair or jewellery)but I love bows! I love bows on my skirts,dresses,pants and whatever I can get a bow on.!  On today's post am going to be sharing how to make Ankara bows! Can I hear you scream,lol...

            Things you need
- a piece of Ankara
- a smaller piece of Ankara
- an iron
- needle and thread
- an hair clip  
- glue
- scissors

                DIRECTIONS:::
STEP 1
           Turn your Ankara to the opposite side,fold into two halvesand iron


STEP 2
           Sew with your needle and thread on all sides,leaving just enough hole, so you could return it back to its right side.



STEP 3
             After sewing, return the material to its's right side,through the hole and use the scissors to pick out the edges. You could also blow in air..



STEP 4
            Fold the smaller pieces( let its two edges meet) and iron






STEP 5
            With your thumb and index fingers, pinch the bigger materials by the side,creating "the bow shape"








STEP 6
            Wrap the small piece round the middle of the bow ( the small piece should be replacing your fingers)

STEP 7
             Sew in place and cut out any material left.

STEP 8
            Get your hair clip and insert at the back or you could just glue it on the clip..








Then, your hair bow is done! You could substitute the clip for a safety pin and use the bow as a brooch or u could just use it to jazz up a boring skirt or in my case a kitchen apron.
