Hello! Lately I've been working on some new spring crafts, including these adorable Easter cards! To tell you the truth, I really just wanted to use the word flamboyant. But anyway, this craft includes an awesome bow tutorial that can be applied to anything, including hair bows! The best part about it?No measuring, no pinning, no seam allowance, no patterns!
Happy crafting!

Materials
- Colored Cardstock
- Egg Template
- Fabric for bow
- Thread and sewing machine or needle
- Hot Glue Gun
To start the bow construction, select a piece of any fabric. I'm using a bit of this blue checkered scrap. You don't need to measure:) In fact, the more raw edge showing, the cuter and springier the bow will be.
Then, pinch the approximate middle of the fabric piece until you have ended up with something like what's on the right. The only reason I pinned it was to secure it for the photo. No pinning is necessary:)
Then simply sew over that folded piece, making sure to backstitch.
If you'd like, you can cut a strip off the longer side so that the "ears" of the bow here. You'll use that piece later.
From here, it's just about knipping and tucking as a plastic sergeant would say. I chose to fold the flaps over and sew from the back. Just play around until you get the look you desire.
Using that spare piece from before, or a small strip, hot glue the strip to the top of your bow's center. Bring it around the entire two and secure. Cut off any excess.
Glue to your card stock, and there you go! A truly flamboyant Easter egg.
