Easy No Sew Soccer / Cheerleader Hair Bows
It is that time of year again. In our house spring means the start of another soccer season. Our girls are playing on 2 different soccer teams this season. I thought I would share the quick and easy no sew, step by step instructions to making cute hair bows. These hair bows look great whatever they are doing whether it is cheerleading or soccer.
Here are the cast of characters:
- Fabric 3 different colors. (Our team colors are black and red and the other team colors are blue and gold. However, I always use a silver shine fabric also.)
- Pack of ponytails
- Ruler
- Scissors
I'm sure you are wondering how much fabric do you need????? Well, that depends on how many hair bows you are making. If you are making 1 or 20.
I will give you a way to estimate the amount of fabric you need later in the post.
I take a ruler and measure strips of fabric 2 inches wide by 14 inches long.
I then cut those strips in half so I end up with a piece of fabric 2 inches wide and 7 inches in length.
I use 4 strips of each color on each ponytail. So there is a total of 12 stipes of fabric on each hair bow.
This really couldn't get any easier. Now, all you do is take a strip of fabric, fold it in half lengthwise and knot (tie) it around the ponytail.
I usually put 4 of the same color fabric on a ponytail then go on to the next color. It helps me keep track.
I made 16 hair bows and I bought 1.5 yards of fabric and had a lot left over.
A way of estimating the amount of fabric is to think you need 4 inches in width. So a yard of fabric should give you at least 15 hair bows.
This bow is from last year.
I always buy more ponytails, just in case one breaks. I never have used the ponytails from Dollar Tree. I've had packs that break easily and other packs from there that last forever. It is to hit or miss for me to use them when making these.
I hope you make these cute hair bows for your team. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Mrs. Fife
