Bug loves these bows, so she wanted a pic with it in! I made those for one of her Sunday dresses & I was able to remind her it only matches that dress so she’d have to wait for Sunday! Luckily my logic worked on her this time! The first one was easier to do from the top and then guiding it through the hair from the other side. I inserted the 2nd one going in from underneath. I hope this makes sense.ĭepending on how long your DD’s hair is, you may have to put several bobby pins in.

And it’s a fabulous one for school because it is fairly quick & easy (depending on how fast you can braid!) and just a little bit different from the “norm!” The several times I’ve done this recently, I’ve had so many people stop & ask me how they were hooked together or if I’d somehow braided them together to make them look this way.
