christmas bows and ties

for my nine nieces and nephews on my side i made hair bows and bow ties as a cheap way for them all to get a little something to open.
the red centers are hot glued on berries from the floral section.

i got the idea for this after marquesas did her post about making a big felt bow. (and she got her inspiration from here. check it out.)

they're pretty self explanatory. my biggest tip though is to actually measure the kiddos before you start. i was a little to eager to get started and made all my bows a little comically too big for them. i made the straps a little longer and put more than one velcro strip so they can grow into them.

 then i wrapped them up in brown paper packages tied up with strings.
