Tutorial On Bow On Clip…

Now that you know how to create a bow, and a double bow… you are ready to put it on a clip. With the bigger bows, you can just glue them on clip like this: 




Or you can try this….


                  An alligator clip works best ^ 

 But this was all I had… So,  follow along and you can apply these intructions to almost any clip.  :)
 Do NOT cut a piece of ribbon just yet, because we don't quite know how long we will need it. (Depending on the size of the clip) So… just Put a strip of glue on the free end of ribbon...
                   Undo the clip and glue it between ...
 Now add glue to the other side. (see picture) 
                     And put the ribbon down on that...
 Now flip the clip over and add glue to the sides of the clip. NOT the ribbon. ( if you use an alligator clip, you will not have to worry about this)
         Now just push the ribbon down over the glue.
 Ok… now you can cut your ribbon….  :)
 Flip the clip over and add a strip of glue.
 Fold the piece of ribbon down into the middle of the clip to finish it off.  (once again, this would be much easier with an alligator clip.)
 Now make a double bow and stack them on top of the clip… (to learn how to make a double bow, go here)
 Cut a short piece of ribbon and put it through the middle of the clip.
                                 Put glue down and wrap the ribbon around, going through the                                        middle of the clip.
                               Now your'e DONE!!!
                                                                So CUTE!
The alligator clip is on the right, and if you use that, you will have to wrap the ribbon around the clasp (see the left side of the right clip)
