Shamrock hair bow

16 inches of green fabric 1 3/4 “wide

1 regular large rubber band for hair

3 – 7” curled grosgrain ribbon

14” printed holiday shamrock decorative ribbon

Heavy quilting threads that blends into the ribbon color

Sew the rubber band inside of the fabric as you sew the sides

Sew the ends of the fabric together making a circle.  Turn wrong side out and put the rubber band around the out side and fold fabric over the rubber band and sew edges so that the rubber band is totally inside of the fabric.  You now have a regular scrunchie type hair tie.

Take the 14”inches of printed ribbon and make a notch in both ends then make a large loop leaving 3 inch ends.  Lay the 2 grosgrain curled ribbon on top of the printed holiday ribbon.  Pinch the center of the loop making sure there is and end on each side, then wrap the heavy quilting thread many times around  leaving one tail on the beginning, wrap till secure, then tie both ends of the thread in a secure knot.  Adjust the ends to perfect the bow. You can sew the bow onto the scrunchie, or hot glue it, or use fabric glue.  However you decide to attach it, make sure you can still stretch out the stretchy rubber band.
