Bow Tie

So making girly things has sure been fun!

However, there's one problem...I have two boys

I though of something cute and simple....bow ties! I used the tutorial on how to make a fabric bow from Kitty Cats and Airplanes that I used here. Instead of ribbon, I sewed together a piece of fabric and turned it  inside out. I folded it over in back and hot glued it. 


I pinched the front and hot glued it.


Then I wrapped another piece around it for the center of the bow.



 To clip it on, I glued a hair clip to the back.



Then I just clipped it to Leo's dress shirt...and Ta-da! He's so cute. :)
