How to Make Leather Hair Bows

Making leather hair bows is simple and beginner-friendly:

1. Cut Your Shapes: Use scissors and a template to cut out your bow pieces or alternatively if you have a sizzix big shot you can use die cutters of popular bow shapes to cut them out perfectly—typically a bow shape, a tail piece, and a small strip for the centre. Most people start off with templates and then progress to die cutters once they are more advanced and making larger amounts.
2. Assemble the Bow: Fold the bow shape into loops and secure it with glue. Add the tail piece and wrap the centre strip around everything for a polished look.
3. Attach to a Clip or Headband: Use a hot glue gun to secure your bow to a hair clip or headband.
4. Customize: Add embellishments or mix different fabrics and leathers for a unique design! Once you’ve mastered the cutting with our amazing faux leathers, you can try our cutting our beautiful chunky glitter fabrics which give a beautiful sparkle to your hair bows.

With just a little practice, you’ll be creating gorgeous glitter and leather hair bows in absolutely no time.
