“TEE” made this fabulous and easy Duck Tape Hair Bows and asked me if I would feature it in my blog. I agreed on the condition that she writes the post herself.  So here it is in her own words. I have only edited it partially. ENJOY!!

 

Just recently, I participated in a math carnival at my school. For my probability project, I made around 50 bows. The person playing my game was supposed to pick a certain print and win prizes.  After the math carnival, I was stuck with a bunch of bows. I had no idea what I was going to do with them. Then one day, when I was playing around with some hair clips, I got an idea to combine these bows with with the clips and make Duck tape Hair Bows. If you want to know how to make these fabulous bows, here are the directions below:

1.) Cut a piece of printed Duck tape, about 4″ long. Fold it in half, and remember that there are pictures below to guide you!

 

 

2.) Fold the small square in an accordion style, pinching the middle of the “accordion”. Before you pinch the middle, keep two small, thin strips of a base color cut and ready to use.

 

 

3.) While pinching the bow with one hand, take one of the strips and wrap it around the middle. Once you have done that, flatten the middle as much as you can. Then, take the second strip and wrap it around the middle. The middle should be round.

 

 

4.) Here is the finished bow!

 

 

5.) Take a hair clip add some glue to the bottom of the clip. The glue should be an industrial glue,  and the one I used was called   E-6000.

 

 

6.) Place the bottom of the bow on top of the glue-covered area of the clip. Gently press for a few minutes.

 

 

7.) Yay! Now you have a Duck tape hair bow all ready to show off to your friends!
