PUTTING IT TOGETHER……
1. Begin by gathering all the materials you will need for this project. Then place the
1/8” wide ribbon into the bottom of the Mini Bowdabra. Leave at least an inch on
each side of the Mini Bowdabra.
2. Cut the 2” wide ribbon to any desired length. For my purposes, 12” in length
seemed to be optimal for the hair clippies. Once the ribbon is cut, seal both ends of
the ribbon with a lighter. Gently run the lighter along the very edge of the ribbon to
prevent fraying.
3. Slide the 2” wide ribbon down into the center of the Mini Bowdabra. Continue to
gather the ribbon in an accordion style until you reach the end of your ribbon.
4. Scrunch down with the wand.
5. While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, take your 1/8” wide ribbon and tie it.
Slowly lift the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra, pull the 1/8” wide ribbon tightly, and
then tie a knot around the Scrunchy Hair Bow.
6. Fluff, shape, and set aside your Scrunchy Hair Bow.
7. Leave your 1/4” ribbon on the spool, seal the end of the ribbon with a lighter. Take
the sealed end of the ribbon and hot glue it to the bottom of your alligator clip.
8. Fold the ribbon onto the top of the alligator clip and attach with hot glue. Do NOT
cut the ribbon, yet.
9. Attach the Scrunchy Hair Bow to the top of the ribbon lined alligator clip. Use the
1/8” wide ribbon tails to tie it to the top center of the clip. Pull tight and knot the
ribbon to the underneath of the clip.
10. Trim the 1/8” ribbon close to the knot. Next, cut the 1/4” ribbon, from the spool,
the length of the alligator clip. Seal the end of the 1/4" ribbon, and then hot glue it to
the underneath of the clip.
11. Make two Scrunchy Hair Bow Clippies for matching pig-tails!
