Rotary Cutter
Piece of Cardboard
Scissors
A T-Shirt
Liquid Stitch

1. Place the piece of cardboard between the front and back of the shirt
2. Take the scissors and cut some of the bottom of the shirt. This fabric will be used later.
3. Take the rotary cutter and cut slits in the shirt about 4 in. apart from each other until you reach the bottom of your shirt.
4. Taking the fabric that was cut off the bottom of the shirt, create little strips by cutting them off the fabric in 1/2 in. wide sections.
5. To make the "bow" effect, pinch the first 2 slits together and wrapping the strips around it. Secure it with the Liquid Stitch.

**NOTE** When Liquid Stitching the strips onto the shirt, make sure that the ends of the strips are faceing the inside of the shirt. This helps the bows not look sloppy.

4. Fold the two opposite ends in so that they both meet. Hot glue the two ends together.
5. Take the two openings on the sides and pinch them together to make a bow shape.
6. Hot glue the pinches together in the middle.
7. Take an other strip of fabric of the same pattern and hot glue that in the middle of the bow. Make sure that the end of the strip is glued in the back of your bow.
8. Take a hair clip and hot glue that where the end of your middle strip ends. You can take a small pinch in the back of the bow and glue that to the ends of the hair clip. This helps with the shape of your bow.
