Double Ruffle Stacked Bow

Layers of pretty ruffles in pink!

This is a relatively easy hair-bow to make. It was created using the NBNG Template #4 and #5 and the instructions for the templates to create a Basic Boutique Bow. The ribbon is our 1.5" Satin Double Ruffle Ribbon. Cut pieces for 3 bows. Two bows will be the same larger size using template 5 and one will be the smaller center bow using template 4. Cut ribbon ends at a slight angle and heat-seal the ends.

Wrap ribbon on template according to instructions and clip in place.  Sew through the center of the bow starting and ending on the back of the bow.

Slide bow off the template and gather along the stitches tightly.  Wrap center several times with the thread before sewing knot on back of bow to finish off.

Create all three bows.

Glue the bottom two bows together first with a dot of hot-glue in the center. Push down firmly. Attach the top bow the same way. After glued together, wrap a thread several times around the center tightly and tie off in a knot.

Put a bead of glue along the back of a french barrette (with center bar removed) and press firmly to the back of the bow.

I love using a large center on double ruffle bows, so I used the same 1.5" width ribbon. I created a knotted center and glued it to the front of the bow.

Wrap the ribbon around to the back of the clip. Cut off the ribbon ends and heat-seal them before gluing to the back. Insert the center bar and you have a finished bow!
