A few months ago I helped put together a Baby Shower for my sweet SIL. I was in charge of the activity, so we thought it would be fun to make bows. It turned out PERFECT! The guests got to craft and momma and baby ended up with a TON of cute hair bows!
My friend Heather from Chickabug designed this cute sign and the labels. On the sign I put the following steps:
I placed the lace and buttons in glass jars and had glue guns and scissors on the table as well.
I love girly stuff! The lace, pearls and pink is so fun!
Once the guests arrived they created a bow and then tied a tag around it with their name and the size of the headband. I had several bows finished before hand so they could use them as examples.
It was a lot of fun for everyone. My SIL ended up with so many cute bows for her baby girl.
This was such a great activity for a baby shower. You could do something like this with onesies as well. There are so many fun ways to embellish onesies. For more baby shower ideas check out my Pinterest board.
Thanks for reading. Come back soon! :D
UPDATE: I found most of my lace and buttons at a store called SAS in AZ. Jo-Ann’s and Hobby Lobby also has a great collection.

What a cute idea. Watch her baby will be one of those that doesn’t have hair til she’s three.
Katie
Awesome idea!!!

This is a really cute idea. I’ve seen it where people are asked to buy a hair bow and bring it to the shower, but making your own is way more fun for both baby & mommy to be.

This was such a cute idea and so fun! And every time I see Amelia, she is wearing a super cute headband!

This is such a great twist on the onesie decorating baby shower idea. You’re table is beautiful and the headbands are so sweet!

So, probably a silly question, but after the elastic is cut to the right size, how is it secured into a circle? Hot glue? Are the two ends joined under the flower? I know it’s probably super easy…but I’m just curious if there’s a best way to go about it!
