When I first began making these adorable little fabric bows for my baby and my shop, I thought they looked like Farfalle pasta (bowtie pasta).

The great thing about these bows, is that they are easily made with just a few items. Plus they dont have a bunch of extra “stuff” that can become heavy and/or a choking hazard for babies.

The lightweight fabric doesn’t weigh heavy on their heads, and fabric can be found in so many colors and varieties all year.

How to Make No Sew Bows

To make these little fabric bows…

Cut your fabric pieces whatever size you would like, but I recommend somewhere around 2×3 inches. {Scrap fabric is perfect for this craft!!}

The wider your rectangle, the bigger your bow, and the longer your rectangle, the more full your bow will be.

Begin folding your bow by taking the top and folding it down. Slowly pinch the rest of the rectangle up until your are pinching all fabric in the middle.

Tie with a piece of floss. Floss is great because it is very strong and is cheap. Since it is so thin, it makes a great farfalle bow. Thin ribbon may be substituted if you want.

Adjust your fabric bow and secure the elastic ends on the back with a dab of hot glue. After cooling, apply another small dab of hot glue and a pencil eraser-sized circle of felt. Hold until cool.
