The design of this bow is actually what got me started on the felt bow craze....when I found myself adding a similar bow to a basket on a website....for 7 dollars.....and realizing how easy it would be to make my own.....I got busy. I bought some pearl dots, felt, and elastic. The elastic made more than 10 bows!
I cut two strips from the felt (just about 1/4 inch wide. The felt was 15 cents a piece,...you could make quite a few of these bows out of that piece!
The pearl has a stick back, but I added a dab of glue to hold it down, along with two leaves, and then I just started adding a few dots to the side every few centimenters and wrapping around my thing felt.
Dot of glue, roll, dot of glue, roll some more.
I cut another round circle to sandwich the elastic.
I glued the elastic down, then cover the whole circle with glue and added my posie to the top.
