Materials needed: Ribbon (from a craft store), hot glue, alligator clip (from any beauty supply store), a soft band, and any fun add-ons such as buttons.

Step 1: Make a little loop in your ribbon, and secure with a small dot of hot glue.

Step 4: Repeat the above steps, and make a few loops. In this example, there are four loops, which naturally vary in size. Arrange them by size, starting with the biggest one first.

Step 6: Wrap the alligator clip with the ribbon. This is optional, but highly recommended if your daughter is younger toddler or little baby, since the covered ribbon on alligator clip can prevent it from snagging hair, or hurt your baby’s head. Of course, the ribbon makes your angel look cuter! In this wrapping process, we usually do not add ribbon to the other side which will be attached to the bow.

Step 8: Add some tulle and a button to finish the loopy hair bow. To get a loopy hair bow band, there is just one more thing needed to be done, which is to simply clip the bow we just made onto a hair band.
