DIY felt bow tutorial with free PDF pattern

Six years ago I found out I was pregnant with my first baby girl. I remember wanting to buy all of the things for baby girl. All of the leggings, rompers (oh the rompers!), bows and headbands. Well, our budget doesn’t allow for all of the things, lol, so I decided to do my best to make it all!

I taught myself how to make leggings (you can find that tutorial here) and knotted headbands. I loved the felt flower and bow headbands that became so popular a few years ago and learned that all of those cute Etsy shops that make felt bows, probably use some sort of machine to cut them uniformly and perfectly each time. Well…I ended up opening a shop of my own and have one of those machines (Sizzix Big Kick) that cuts perfect little uniform bows. Prior to buying that though, I would have loved a quick little pattern to make some little bows for my baby.

SOOO, I created a quick and easy tutorial so you can make your own felt bows!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Printable PDF Pattern (Click the link and print)
• Scissors
• Felt sheet ( I like wool blend felt. It’s nice and thick)
• Hot glue gun
• Headband, elastic or alligator clip

Print your pattern and cut your pieces out. I pin the pattern pieces to the felt so they don’t slip.

Once you have all of your pieces, start hot gluing them all together.
