Leather Bow Hair Clip!

 Leather Bow Hair Clip! I made these cute hair bows for Christmas gifts for nieces. They are 4 inches wide by 2 inches.  Gather them down the center and wrap them in thick thread.  Like this.  Tie the thread in a knot.  Then cut strips that are 1/2 inch by 2 inch.  Hot glue on the backside where the thread is tied off.  Wrap the leather around the bow and then hot glue to the backside. Hold in place with scissors until dry.  Perfection.  Hot glue a hair clip on the backside.  Then wear. Looks awesome and chic! I love the feminine shape of the bow with the masculine texture of the leather.  Perfect for gifts! Scale it up a little bigger for a necktie for a bowtie! It's fun to craft with leather!
