Finishing Touches

• Fold the rectangle in the middle and use a long string to wrap it around.
• Sew or glue the bottom.

Assembly tips: After wrapping the center, secure with extra yarn or a few stitches to hold the shape. For a hair clip, sew or hot-glue the finished bow to an alligator clip or barrette. For a brooch, attach a pin back. If you prefer a sturdier finish, lightly block the pieces before assembly to shape them evenly. Adjust hook size or yarn weight to make larger or smaller bows.
