This little bat hairbow is made from black ribbon, two googly eyes, and a hair clip. A knot becomes the body, and the ribbon ends become the wings. That’s the whole trick.
What you need
- 20 inches of 3-inch-wide black ribbon
- Two googly eyes
- Hot glue
- A hair clip
- Scissors
The ribbon measurements are what I had on hand when I made the original. You can use a different size ribbon for a smaller or larger bow.
How to make the bat hairbow
- Tie a big knot in the middle of the ribbon. Adjust it so it looks like the bat’s body.
- Cut the ends into curves to form the wings. Zigzag scissors are another option from the original tutorial.
- Glue the two eyes onto the knot.
- Turn the bow over and glue the hair clip to the back. Let the glue cool and set before wearing it.
An adult should handle the hot glue. Do the assembly off the head, then clip the finished bat into your hair.
