Pull it through

Bring the top piece over the loop, tuck it underneath, and pull it straight through. You’ll have one loop on the right and two loose tails on the left—one short and one long.

Fold the longer tail underneath the shorter tail

Form the second loop

Take the longer tail and fold it underneath the shorter one to form the second loop.

Secure the bow

Hold the knot securely, then gently pull the headband fabric to tighten the knot and enlarge the band.

Pro tip

Keep the center soft. Oversized bows look best when they aren’t pulled too tight.
