zipper bows

these bows are made from a zipper and are so simple to do.

all you need is
<3 one zipper(long or short depending on how big you want the bow to be)
<3 needle
<3 thread
<3 scissors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to attach onto a headband
<3 a headband(i used a strechy one but a hard one is optional)
<3hot glue gun,or needle and thread




first cut about 1 1/2 -2" off your zipper(yes you can cut through zipper metal)save this piece.


next take the long piece and fold one half over,fold the other half over top,this is your bow's body


                                                                                                                     
now take the little piece from earlier and wrap it around the bow body sew in the back                                
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
if you wanted to sew it onto the headband(stretchy)just whipstitch it ont the headband,going in and out of the zipper then the headband.

finished product

if your hot gluing it onto a hard headband simply glue it on the side.
