This simple and creative hair bow is super easy to make from just one piece of glitter or faux vinyl. You can decorate the center with a bead or button to add more dimension. Mix up the colors to create more playful patterns.

To continue to the next screen press the green “Make” button.
Step two
In the Prepare screen you will see how the color layers will cut on the mat. Each color will cut out on a seperate mat.
Now cut out a piece of glitter vinyl for each layer slightly larger than you will need. If you have several mats you can prepare them now with each color of glitter vinyl or if you have one mat you will need to load the vinyl after each cut.
This is how you want the fabric to look before you load it into the cutting machine. I recommend putting some transfer tape onto your cutting mat first, sticky side up, this will help keep your mat clean. And you will also need to go around the edge of the vinyl with painters tape to hold it in place. And you want the fabric good side down. I used a purple strong grip cutting mat for cutting a heavier fabric such as glitter vinyl.
Press the green “Continue” button to move to the next screen.
Step three
In the make screen you can choose your cut setting, and blade pressure. In this tutorial I used the “Faux leather (Paper thin)” setting.
Now follow the instructions on your screen on which blade to use. Load your mat and press the flashing “C” button on your machine to cut the fabric.
Here you see all the fabric shapes cut out in each color.
Step four
Put a dab of hot glue on the ends of the bow and fold it in half and press down.
Step five
Repeat with the five other points.
Here you can see all six points glued down.
Step six
Place a dab of hot glue on the back of the bow piece and press the bow tails to it.
Step seven
Place a line of hot glue along an alligator clip and press to the back of the assembled bow.
Step eight
Place a dot of hot glue on the end of the bow band and press to the inside of the alligator clip.
Wrap it around and put another dot of glue on the other end of the bow band and press to the inside of the alligator clip.
