Classic Ballet Hair bow

I generally have three criteria when it comes to making craft items.  It's got to be quick, it's got to be simple and the finished item has to be used.  These ballet hair bows certainly fulfil those requirements and as an added bonus, they're really pretty too!  While I've glued my bow onto a hair comb, they're equally at home on a hair slide/barrette, or even sewn onto a hair band.

Materials

One length of Ribbon

One Pair of Scissors

One glue gun

One Hair comb (or slide/barrette)

-Cut 3 lengths of ribbon.  For the bow pictured I cut 1 x 4.5cm (1.7inches), 1 x 9cm (3.5 inches) and 1 x 17cm (6.7inches).  

If you are using larger hair combs, the proportions to use are:

One piece of ribbon should be cut just slightly longer than the length of the comb

One piece of ribbon should be just under double the length of the comb and 

One piece of ribbon should be cut to a length three times the width of the ribbon you are using.

-Snip the ends of the 9cm (middle length) ribbon in an inverted arrow shape.

-Using the 17cm (longest length) ribbon, fold  the ends to the centre of the ribbon, one at a time, and use the glue gun to glue the ends in place.  I usually make mine overlap.

-Glue the folded and glued ribbon (longest length) onto the centre of the arrow cut ribbon (middle length).

-Using the 4.5cm (smallest length) ribbon, fold around the other two ribbons and glue at the back.

-Glue onto hair comb and wear to class.

Diy Ballet Barre

MATERIALS(4) 1.25″ PVC crosses
(2) 1.25″ PVC tees
(4) 1.25″ PVC elbows
(2) pieces 1.25″ PVC pipe cut to 24″ long
(6) pieces 1.25″ PVC pipe cut to 12″ long
(2) closet rods cut to 57″ long
Craft foam sheets
Sandpaper
Spray paint

INSTRUCTIONSI won’t bore you with step by step directions for putting this thing together. The photos are pretty self-explanatory. After you get the PVC pieces assembled there are a few last details.

1. Use the sandpaper to “erase” the black number and letter markings from your pieces.
2. Use the craft foam to fill the gaps where the closet rods fit into the tees and crosses.

• Cut it the same width as the joint pieces (mine were 4.25″).
• Roll it into a tube shape. Depending on the thickness of your foam you may have to overlap the ends so you create a double layer. I found it easiest to remove the PVC joint from the other pieces first so you’re working with one small piece instead of the whole barre.
• Slide the rolled up tube into the PVC joint.
• Wiggle and twist the barre into the center of the tube. This is a little tricky. I used my left hand to try and keep the foam from shooting out onto the floor but you can see it did slide out a good inch or so. You want it to be a tight fit so it’s stable but not so tight you can’t put it together.

Once I had everything together (and was sure it would work), I took it all apart and hit it with some hot pink spray paint. I’m always amazed how much paint changes things.

I want to point out that this is not as stable as a barre that attaches to the wall. My dancer is 13 years old uses it for balance and form. If your dancer is younger and will be leaning on the barre or putting a lot of weight on it, this may not be a good option for you.
