The Parts of a Hair Bow.

I thought it would be great if I had a diagram to share with customers so that they knew the parts of a hair bow when we are discussing custom orders. The bow shown above is a common style that I make. This 4.5 inch wide bow can be worn on a bowband for infants or bigger girls can wear one or two at a time.

The top section is shown with a two loop twist, a four loop bow could be substituted for a a different look. This bow also has loops and korkered ribbon as accent layers. The tails are shown in a 1.5 inch wide ribbon but could be made with a 7/8 inch wide ribbon for a slightly smaller bow.

This bow is slightly smaller, about 4 inches wide. The big difference between the two bows is that the middle layer is made with different width ribbons resulting in a smaller bow. I have also made the tails in 7/8 inch wide ribbon. The top layer is shown in a four loop bow, it is also available in a two loop twist.
