Felt Bows

On a recent trip to Marshalls, I found these shoes:
 Their cute. But I think I made them cute-rr!
 Here's what I did. I started out with some felt (a blend of wool and polyester) 
I cut two pieces (for the back) 3 1/2 long & 1" wide 
and two pieces (for the bow) 4" long & 1" wide
 I took the ends of the small bow piece and brought them together to the middle 
and put a dab of hot glue in the middle to secure it.
 It turns out looking like this.
I took the other long piece and folded it in half and cut it to look like this.
 And then glued it to the back of the bow and pinched the middle of the whole thing.
 I cut another longer-thinner piece (no specific measurement on this one, just something to go down the middle). Put a little dab of glue on the front (not too much-you don't want it oozy out the sides!)
Then I folded some two pieces over one another and cutting off the excess.
I made a slightly larger one and attached it to a clip for Katelyn's hair.
 So I made two colors of these adorable bows... I'm having a hard time deciding. Maybe I'll add a little velcro and I can switch them out. Don't you think RED would be cute too?!
Wanna know how to make this cutie?
 I started out with two pieces of felt 2" by 4".
 Fold it in half and then round the corners.
 Cut another small piece about 1" by 2".
 Pinch the middle. Add a little glue to secure it.
 Cover the middle pinch with the 1 x 2.
 Fold the pieces on top of each other with a little glue in between each piece.
For this bow I added a little bobby pin on the back.
 She likes it!
Thanks for stopping by!
