some what you doing get in the moment
oh you guys I wanted to show you this is
not gonna be a very long film
I clearly am not showing much you know
in my face but that's just because I
don't have my coverage on and it's just
too much to be covered while I'm trying
to do this so I decided not to cover
anyways so I wanted to show you guys how
I make SRS hair bows this one I just
kind of threw together just now you can
get this stuff let me show you really
quick you can get the materials at
Walmart that's where I got these ones
you want to make sure that you get the
ones that are elastic because if you get
the flat ones that are just flat lace
they're just gonna be late they're not
gonna have any type of stretch to them
and then you can just get any type of
balls these ones were all a dollar in
the the sewing Department and I got just
multiple colors different you know
purple blue pink I have a white don't
know where it went
I've got black and then this is the one
that I did just now I actually just put
this one together now the back obviously
is not very pretty but when her head is
on it now I will clip all this stuff off
I just literally did it so I'm letting
the glue kind of set for right now but
you'll see step-by-step how I'm gonna do
it and that way then you'll know as I do
it how it wouldn't it's finished you
won't see any of all of that but it will
be the headband so what I do is I size
them up well so I take the material and
usually I use so this is the this is
just the flat lace okay and this one
doesn't have any stretch these ones do
have stretch so but they also these ones
don't have tons of stretch but I mean
for the most part yet I mean you don't
need tons of stretch anyways
and you can use these but they're not
gonna be as what would you say like
sturdy so I mean that's kind of your
choice of what you want to do but I
usually take one of these and I take it
around her head and I size it and then
I'll cut it and then that's what I use
for her
lengthen heard of what how much I need
for her headband so I know that sure
head is a is approximately that big so I
always I always take about an extra inch
and that's how I know how I'm gonna glue
these and then I slip like something
underneath because obviously if you put
hot glue on lace it's just gonna seep
through the bottom and it's gonna become
a huge mess and if you're doing it like
on a table or something like that you're
gonna have probably some issues with I'm
trying to think
damage know what is on my shirt my
daughter just spilled something on me
anyways Muslim wife and then you just
take your glue gun and I always wrap it
around something just to make it a
little bit more firmer just set it there
and I'll use whatever is around me to
kind of just gently stack it a little
bit I don't do it hard because it's
gonna stick no matter what it's glue I
just kind of do this just until I get
enough of it stuck on there and then I
kind of as the glue is still a little
bit workable I will take that paper off
because otherwise the paper will glue to
it
then you just kind of hold it up so it
has a chance to like you know stick but
not obviously be able to stick to
anything but the product that you're
writing it to stick to so
now we'll take a few seconds and you can
also use your hand too I mean depending
on how but you can handle the heat me
personally I have used a glue gun for so
long I am so used to the hot that are
the hot the heat that it does I mean
it's hot sometimes and it can get very
hot but you know for the most part it
doesn't hurt too bad and now it doesn't
matter what this is gonna look like I
mean that's gonna look crappy but that's
just because of the glue drying but
that's okay it's you're gonna clear I
mean you're gonna cover all that up so
and then just set your little paper
aside and then D here's the tricky part
so I use felt and personally normally I
would use the color of what band I'm
using but I right now I'm completely low
on felt so that's just not gonna be
possible so I am using white which does
make it more trickier and that's why
again you can kind of see it more right
here again I will be clipping all this
off but it makes the job much more
harder if you have it like this instead
of using whatever color it is that the
bands are using but you also just do
what you have to do because I am a big
believer of not wasting any type of
craft product they are expensive oh let
me tell you they're expensive they are
definitely expensive but I I mean I get
a lot of stuff from Walmart Michaels
when they're on sell and you just kind
of guesstimate how big of a circle you
need but I get so from Michael's I get
stuff from Walmart
not really well if I need like fabric I
will do Joanne's
which is our local Crafton fabric store
Joanne and Michaels I don't know if
they're like international or I don't
know I'm not sure how that works
so pretty much eyeballed the sizes and I
got them pretty close so now the next
thing you're gonna do is you're gonna
want to size it up kind of to the band
itself so you can kind of see that it's
not gonna hang off too much in the
distance because that's the thing is
when you go to put your when you go to
put your bow down it's gonna be clearly
visible visual so what I would suggest
doing and you can also do this
beforehand you can go in and cut that
down because what this is doing is
basically I mean you really don't have
to even do the top like honestly you
really don't you could do it that way
and I will do it that way just to show
you guys another way again if I had
black you could do black on black and it
would not make a big difference but
because it's white you can do it this
way and this would probably make more
sense but the reason you're wanting to
put some type of a felt behind is
because you think about as you or your
child or whatever is wearing that the
glue is gonna get hard and Scratchy and
that's not gonna feel good so with
something like that it also kind of
holds the lace together better it gives
it more of a firm hold but also it just
kind of keeps it a little bit softer so
it's not so rough on the head of
whatever it is that you're making it for
second session and I always apply it to
the circle
just push it down onto it so usually you
don't get much glue to come out from the
other side but if you do you can use
your paper and just kind of push it down
and that also works and for anybody that
is wondering what kind of glue gun I use
that looks good lord I do not normally
show myself like this um it is a super
Bhandar glue gun it's a wireless so it
hooks to a base which is this right here
um I will try and see I got it from
Walmart probably like five years ago
really honestly so I don't know if they
still carry it but if they do I will
actually put it in the description below
this glue gun has been a lifesaver let
me tell you this thing is so awesome
because how many times when you're
trying to do a craft you know it's
you've got cords and you know it becomes
a little bit of a hassle so it's like
okay and then you're gonna apply the
glue to well okay I'm gonna take my
words back there I'm gonna actually
apply it here and the only reason I'm
doing that right now
it's cuz my glue is running out and it I
don't want it to pop on my fingers and
then you just hold it down or my glue
sticks or underneath me um but it's that
simple like really so so so simple just
keep holding it
I mean glue guns don't take too much
time but there you go that's another one
right there and I will let this one dry
for a minute while we move on to the
next one we're just going to make
another one just so you guys can kind of
see what I'm doing here
okay so make another one I'm just gonna
loop it like I said I just find
something that I can kind of push it
against the paper under and these are so
easy but yet fun and there's so many
ways that you can do it and that's what
makes it even more fun is that you know
you can make them with diamonds and
little like really anything I mean
there's so many things you could do with
them that it isn't in just one certain
thing that you can use or you know to
make these you can do small little
multiple bows or you know a big bow or
you know one small bow you don't have to
put any bows there's just it's yeah it's
endless on what you can do
you just kind of hold it up to make sure
that whoa the glue is drying it's the
biggest thing is just making sure that
it's drying because if it doesn't dry
right then your bows are not gonna turn
out so I made a purple one a pink one I
think I'm gonna make one black one but
see even like with these so this one I
bought from Walmart um know if you can
see that but see even these ones let me
see if I can bring the light down you
can see that there's the felt is
underneath it but then you can't see the
felt on that side but you can't see it
even on that side either so it's kind of
good way to show you guys okay okay
so now let's see maybe able to just
actually just do that like I said you
guys don't like wasting wasting craft
stuff it's just and I do a lot of
crafting actually because I make diaper
cakes and I haven't made a diaper cake
in quite a while actually but I have
made them and they're so much fun but
again it just you know craft stuff's
expensive but I've made them for like
people's bridal shower or bridal showers
baby shoppers I've never technically
made a bridal shower cake yet to like
give to somebody but I
be opposed to them as I love them
they're so cute
okay so here's our black bow let's find
the right side yeah so I'm going to put
it right there
you just he is wanting to be a little
bit difficulty you just oh well you
don't want to glue your finger to it and
that's for sure
told you I'm used to the heat to a point
I usually I get myself at least at least
once or twice during my craft and you
want to if you have to do adjustments
you want to do them quick because once
it dries it's done you cannot move it
that will probably leave me a lovely
blister um but yeah I mean I have enough
to make one more but I think I'm doing
good
and so I have it for later and there you
go there is the black I mean I will
still go back through and you know clean
all the blue strips up and stuff but I
mean and again all this once it's dry I
will go in with little scissors um
excuse my my messy headband just through
and also I can see you guys um I will go
in with small little scissors and clip
like all the extra stuff off
excuse my makeup I took a nap today and
I did not realize until just now that
it's like all over my face and then this
one I will clip and then I will just
insert like pictures so you guys can see
what they look like afterwards but I
mean so easy like literally
took me I mean from start to finish I
made I made three of them under ten
minutes really I mean other than the
fact that I was you know but I mean I
can make them quickly because I don't
have you know I can just pile them out
but so anyways that is the video of for
making hair bows I hope you guys enjoyed
and if you did and you have other ideas
of things that you would like me to do
to with crafting let me know mark it
down into the just the comments below if
I can speak and I will definitely take a
chance to look at it look it up and see
if I can figure it out and I can do for
you
take care
