I love making bows for Ella's hair. These are some of my favorite sites:
Posh n Pretty has the easiest instructions I have seen for basic bow making. Their free tutorials are great for getting the technique down for forming the bow. If you are new to bow making, I would start here. What they do not show is how to attach the bow to the clip but they are such a good resource for learning new bow techniques.
Girly Things has step-by-step free tutorials on bow making from start to finish. They also have tutorials on making cute bow holders and ribbon boards and they give advice on how to sell your bows. At the top of page is all of the links to the photo tutorials.
The Ribbon Retreat has some of the cutest tutorials for bows that I have seen, as well as how to make ruffled socks, ribbon covered barrettes, etc. All free on their site.
Honey Mommy has a free tutorial on making the cutest hair clips. You can see it here.
I need to take some pics of the bows I have made. Here are two very basic ones that she wore this past week:
(The part looks weird from this angle but cute head on!)

I've visited a couple of these sites a I was learning how to make bows. Now I'm about to open up an online boutique to sell them, although the tutus I make are my top sellers thus far.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I'm just getting to this point with my oldest daughter. This info is helpful!
Ok - first of all - Ella's hair looks beautiful! I am so excited to go make some new bows. I have been so lazy lately. I buy lots of ribbon and just tie it in Carlie's hair. Thanks for the info - so cute!

I wanted to personally invite you to my faux school...Screaming Meme's Faux School...I teach different ways to paint...faux,distress,antique,fooling the eye....It's easy and fun!I have a few classes already posted..You can find them on my sidebar!

My brother, who is a single father, will certainly appreciate these bow-making tutorials! Thank you!!
So precious! I was a total tomboy so hairbows were not in the picture, but I just love how they look with pigtails :)
Wow. What beautiful bows and beautiful hair on your little one! You are a very gifted hairstylist! My little girl is going through a short hair phase, but I still made some bows to hold her hair back from her face. It was my first such project and they look so pretty.
Thanks for the helpful links!
Thank you for sharing! My daughter and I want to make some bows for the little girl relatives for CHRISTmas. :D
