Frozen Inspired Tulle Bow

I already showed you what I made for my oldest for this weeks's Spring Fling at school. My youngest chose to watch Frozen (as if it would ever be anything else), the problem- neither KK nor KL know what the coordinating attire is for Frozen... 

KK decided she wants an "Elsa cape" and I thought, "I could pull that off, just a little tulle" then I thought... "I'm already working on 2 dresses and a cross-stitch (that I haven't touched in over a week) plus never-ending laundry and dishes and caring for 4 kids... let's start a little smaller"...

A hair bow it is- but I had already bought the tulle and have never made a tulle bow before- enter the internet with its boundless ideas and tutorials. I checked out a few pictures and realized I was worried for nothing! Now there are a thousand tutorials on how to do this so  I won't be super thorough but I'll still give you the run through. 

The supplies (thread not shown):

First I created a loop from the tulle, using a zigzag stitch on my sewing machine on both colors: 

Next I folded the tulle in half across the long side: 

Then, I layered them and ran a basting stitch across the cut side (not the folded side). I apparently don't have a picture of the layers stitched together but I do have pictures of them pinned before: 

Blue on top

White on top

Now decide which color you want on top. I liked the blue but KL loved the glitter in the white and wanted it to be seen as clear as possible. 

Next pull your basting stitch, gathering the fabric like so: 

Then stitch the gap closed (I forgot to take a picture of this until after I was all done, sorry): 

I ran the stitch through all but the top most layer and you only need to go up about an inch. Chances are likely you will cut down the tulle so you don't want to go too high and have to cut through it. 

Next I added a snowflake button (first stitched through and then hot glued to secure sides) and  and then cut it down some because it was 6 inches across and my little KL is very petite, honestly it looked huge on me. I made it 4.5 inches because the snowflake was about an inch and I didn't want it too close to the snowflake. 

Here's the finished product: 

I think it turned out pretty cute and KL loves it! (She would've been much happier with a cape, but it will do for now.) 

That's all for now,
Jo!
