Cuddle Bow Headband Tutorial

January 19, 2016 by Denise Leave a Comment

Cuddle fabric is not only for making clothing or blankets, even accessories like a bow would look adorable! This cuddle bow headband tutorial shows you how to make a bow headband in a few easy steps.

I had received a few faux fur swatches from Shannon Fabrics a while ago and thought it would be fun to use this pretty leopard print to make a bow with. This material is like a thick fleece and looks the same on both sides. I love how soft it is and I could think of a million projects to make with it. Today I have this free cuddle bow headband tutorial for you!

The bow modeled by this cute little girl measures about 8×4″ and is pretty big on her which looks adorable! You can of course adjust the size to make a bow to your liking. For the band I chose this beautiful glitter elastic by Dritz.

Although it comes in different colors, I liked gold with the brown leopard print as it matches nicely.

Cuddle Bow Headband Tutorial

Gather your materials:

  • a piece of cuddle fabric or other soft material in the size 17×5″
  • glitter elastic (measure head circumference of child and take off 2″) + small piece for center of bow
  • sewing machine
  • serger (optional)
  • straight pins
  • scissors
  • threaded hand sew needle
  • TIP: fiberfill in case your material is too flimsy for holding the bow shape.

Follow this step by step tutorial:

  1. Place your material with right side up, horizontally in front of you.
  2. Fold material over sideways and pin the side. Sew (or sew and serge) both edges together.
  3. Arrange piece so that the side seam is now in the center. Pin top and bottom edge, then sew (or sew and serge). Now test if the bow is holding its shape well or if it needs some stuffing which you would add now.
  4. Turn piece with right sides out and hand stitch the opening closed.
  5. Scrunch the material in the middle so that you can now wrap the small piece of elastic around it.
  6. Hand stitch elastic together and trim off excess.
  7. Slide the large elastic band through the center elastic.
  8. Overlap 1/2″ and hand stitch together.

All done!
