Making a hair bow with a Cricut machine is an easy and creative way to accessorize your hair. With the right materials and supplies, you can easily create a cute and stylish bow that will add some fun to your look. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2
- Cricut Design Space
- Fabric or Faux Leather
- Heat N Bond Ultrahold Iron-On Adhesive
- Hair Clip
- Fabric Scissors or Rotary Cutter and Cutting Mat
- Iron and Ironing Board/Foam Pad
Step 1: Design the Bow in Cricut Design Space.
The first step is to open Cricut Design Space and decide on the design for your bow. You can use the premade shapes available in the software, or you can create a custom design of your own. Once you have chosen a design, use the “Mirror” feature to flip it so that it will cut properly on both sides of the fabric.
Step 2: Cut Out Your Bow.
Once your design is ready, you can place your fabric or faux leather onto your cutting mat, load it into your machine, set the material type in Cricut Design Space, and press “Go”. The machine will start cutting out your design. Once it is finished, remove the cutouts from the mat.
Step 3: Heat N Bond Your Fabric.
To make sure that your fabric stays together when creating your bow, you will need to use Heat N Bond Ultrahold Iron-On Adhesive. Cut two strips of adhesive about two inches wide and place them on either side of one of the cutouts.
Place another piece of fabric over top and then iron with medium heat for 8-10 seconds. Repeat this process for the other cutout.
Step 4: Assemble Your Bow.
Once both pieces are bonded together with iron-on adhesive, place them right sides together and sew down each side using a straight stitch on a sewing machine (or hand stitch if preferred). Turn right side out once finished sewing and press with an iron if needed. Use scissors to trim any excess thread or fabric from around seams.
Step 5: Attach Hair Clip.
< p >Now that your bow is complete, you can attach it to a hair clip. Simply place one end of the clip onto one side of the bow (with teeth facing out) and glue down with hot glue or fabric adhesive. Then attach other end of clip onto other side of bow (also facing teeth out) with same adhesive.< p >Making a hair bow with Cricut is simple and fun!
