Sunday afternoon my daughter received a text that her friend got Red Sox tickets for next Tuesday's game. My daughter loves bows and stated she makes bows for a lot of events for her hair.
Asking if I had red ribbon and the hair bow clips, I went to my stash downstairs and produced 4 clips (whew! as I did not want to go to Wal-Mart or Michaels). The only wired red ribbon I have is a sheer typed, but it worked ok. (I keep all my ribbon separated by color so that was easy to find.)
We took a couple of the Red Sox bottlecaps off the two last keychains I had left from Saturday and hot glued them to the bow, and which was hot glued to the clip.
Quick craft but effective.
FYI: To ensure the bow stayed on the clip I did take a 2 inch piece of thin red ribbon and hot glued around the center of the bow and wrapped it around the metal clip prior to adding the bottle cap.
FYI: To keep the ribbon from fraying you can use Fray Check or clear nail polish. This kind you cannot use the lighter method as it distorts the ends.
