howdy,
ok ya'll are going to think im a nut, but i have searched everywhere for a hair bow, that apperently no one knows what im talking about. these bows are large and silky kin of material,(they were popular in the 80's... and i too would think im nuts if i didnt have 1 myself, but of course it is my last on and i cant for the life of me figure out how to make this. i have taken apart old bows and failed badly....lol

thanks for your help,

is it the kind that is like a bow or is it puffy like a little pillow coved with the material ... if it is like a bow i have seen things that help you make bows but then again i think it is kind of a folded and wire that hold it
i think i know what you are looking for but not sure where to find them but i have afeeling if you wait a while it will be back in style i grew up in the 70's & 80's and it is all comming back scarry what my kids think is cool lol

Oh! There's also those ones that are braided through the barrette. I think they stopped making those metals barrettes though. I used them in my beading and I can't find them any where.

those are easy to make just some wire or hot glue i have seen to put them on the barette you may want to check the $ store they some times have craft stuff like just the barettes so you cam embellish the way you like otherwise check the craft stores
