DIY Bows


After giving my daughter some left over fabric to draw on, I didn't have the heart to throw it out, so I made it into bows!
​
You can do the same for your own daughter/son! Let them design their own bow/bow tie.
​
This is a wonderful idea to preserve and most importantly DISPLAY your childs art!
​
OPTION 1
​
-
Purchase a ready made WHITE bow approx. 4 inches x 2.75 inches in size with an alligator clip. The clip can be sent separately for you to put on after or already attached.
-
Let your little artist decorate their bow. You can use crayons or textas.
-
If your clip isn't already attached, attach clip and put in your child's hair or use as a bow tie.
​
PRICE $6.00 plus postage
​
Postage $5.00 (untracked) or $10 (tracked)

OPTION 2
​
-
I send you a tube of white fabric and a little extra for the middle section.
-
Have your little artist decorate the fabric. You can use crayons or textas (any other medium may cause damage to the fabric or make it too stiff to fold into a bow (such as paint).
-
Send fabric back to me (at your own cost, if you are local you are welcome to pop in a bag or the original envelope and leave in my mailbox (address supplied at time of order).
-
I will make the bow for you, attach and secure the clip and send it back to you!
​
This option will be easier to draw on but costs a little extra.
​
PRICE $11 plus final postage
(This is for the bow and untracked postage of the fabric for you to draw on)
​
Postage $5.00 (untracked) or $10 (tracked)

OPTION 3
​
Already have some fabric at home you'd like to turn into a bow? Whether it is of your childs art or just a piece of old clothing you once loved and want a memento?
​
-
Post fabric to me (at your own cost). Please ensure fabric piece is at least 10 x 7 inches.
-
I will make your bow and secure the clip to it and post it back to you.
​
PRICE $5.20 plus postage
​
Postage $5.00 (untracked) or $10 (tracked)

​
Option 1, because the bow is ready made, it may be tricky to draw on, please help small children to ensure no damage is done to the bow.
​
Option 2, there will be raw edges on the fabric, so please handle with care. If damage occurs to raw edges, fabric may need to be trimmed down resulting in a smaller bow. Please note that the art drawn on the fabric will not be shown in full once the bow is folded and cinched.
​
​
THINGS TO NOTE & WARNINGS:
​
If attaching clip yourself it is recommended you use a small amount of hot glue to secure. Otherwise clip can fall out quite easily. ​
​
Remember not to wash or get your bow/bow tie wet, especially if you've used washable textas.
​
If clip gets wet it may cause rust.
​
Clip is 45mm long.
​
Tracked postage is recommended. No responsibility is taken by Pretty Stitches for lost or damaged items when untracked postage is used.
​
Full payment is required upfront for all options.
​
Please ensure bow is not left on an unsupervised child as it may pose a choking hazard.
