The bow pieces will want to curl upon itself when laid flat. It will keep it’s shape when folded and stitched.
For the large and small bow piece, place the cast on and cast off edges together and stitch. Fold so the seam is at the centre back and tease the edges of the bow into shape if it is still curled.
Place smaller bow on top of the larger and place the ribbon piece at the back. Take a thread and wrap it round the centre of all the bow pieces. Add any additional accessories such as hair bobbles or hair clips can be added.
