Hair bows have always been an attractive accessory to wear on any occasion.  Thanksgiving is no exception.  If you love making hair bows, here are a few suggestions for Thanksgiving hair bows which may be helpful in creating a unique and beautiful accessory for you and your daughter to wear on this special day.

Depending upon the outfit you are wearing on Thanksgiving, you can choose wide ribbons in the following colors: white, orange, or ivory.  Black would be more appropriate for an adult.  Choose satin ribbons since they are classic and elegant as well. 

Next, decide what ornament you wish to place in the center of the bow.  For Thanksgiving, you may want to choose one of the following:  autumn leaves, a cornucopia, or a large sunflower.  Next, tie the satin ribbon into a large bow.  Find another ribbon of lesser width to place under the centerpiece of your choice.  For example, if you are wearing a large sunflower, you may want to buy light brown ribbon and cut two pieces, make an X shape and glue or staple it to the center of the satin ribbon.  On top of the brown ribbon, the large sunflower would be glued.

Depending upon the centerpiece you choose for your satin ribbon, you can choose among a variety of different color ribbons to highlight the piece.  For a cornucopia, you can add red, green or whatever enhances the piece.  Use a hair clip to attach the bow to your hair or that of your daughter.

Here’s another suggestion.  You can decorate your Thanksgiving table by placing the bows at the bottom of the tablecloth and spacing them about 3 inches apart all around.  If you have a particular color scheme, you can make hair bows that reflect the colors in your dining room or mix and match them to your table wear.  Thanksgiving is not only a time for thanks, but creating an elegant look to your table will make it more special.  Don’t forget to take pictures for your scrapbook, too!

Hair bows have been utilized for every day wear, evening wear, and exotic wear.  No matter what the color, it adds a touch of class to anyone’s entire outfit.  This Thanksgiving, check out the satin bows at your craft store, along with centerpieces they have on hand.  You and your daughter will have a great time creating Thanksgiving hair bows.
