My girls love to wear their hair in ponytails, braids and curls with headbands and bows.
I knew I could find instructions online so I searched until I found easy bow making instructions and started making bows in all colors.
Here are the instructions I found:

You can use just about any ribbon and clip you want to suit your childs hair.
I use 1 1/2" - 2" wire edge ribbon and 1/2" - 1" grosgrain, then I embellish with buttons, pearls, ribbon animals and flowers & attach each bow to either a french clip or an alligator clip.
