Add a little extra to the perfect ballet hairstyle, when wrapping a gift or give their favorite soft toy a new look with one of these gorgeous double bows. You could even hot glue your bow onto a hair clip for the easiest ballet bun accessory.

You'll need...

To tie one of these double bows you’ll need;

• a length of ribbon about 40cm (this is just for a bow, if you are tying around a ballet bun or present you’ll need some extra length),
• a pair of scissors,
• a lighter/match to seal the ends of your ribbon.

How to tie a double bow...

Step 1:

Place ribbon over your index finger with about 15cm for the bow tail hanging in front of your palm.

Step 2:

Take the ribbon from the back of your hand and wrap under your middle finger.

Step 3:

Step 4:

Insert end of ribbon between the ribbon around your fingers and the ‘v’ between your fingers.

Step 5:

As you pull through your ribbon wraps under the middle finger again.

Step 6:

Pull tail of ribbon across in front of your hand.

Step 10:

Adjust bow ears to suit and trim ribbon ends to the desired length. We used a lighter to seal the ends of the ribbon so it doesn't fray.

And Voila! you should have a beautiful double bow.
