DIY: Halloween Inspired Crochet Bows.

Hello there and Happy Tuesday! In the Halloween mood, here is another DIY, Crochet style, to wear. I found the little trinkets like the candy corn and cross and bones from Michaels' excursion, found them for about 79 cents. The brand is from Creatology, but for this tutorial you can use any similar kinds from any craft store, these are just the ones I used!

Note: Some of the patterns involve changing colors, here are some references that can assist you in that department! From Youtube!

Next, you will create the bow effect which will be used as a reference for the other bows as well!

With a yarn sewing needle, thread with a bit of yarn, go in between the stitches like so, straight in the middle of the bow.  You will do the alternating threading back down as well.

Next, you will tighten the yarn and it should scrunch like this (above) knot the yarn and cut.

 With the yellow yarn, wrap it around the bow so it can look a bit neat!

With your hot glue gun already heated up and ready to go. Grab your trinket and glue it to the middle of the bow.

With the heated hot glue gun, attach the back of the bow to the metal barrette clip, hold firmly until dry.
