• Separately cut a piece of fabric for a bow - it should have a rectangular shape; measure the length - one third or one second of the length of the bandage itself, if you fold it in half; The width of the bow is identical to the width of the bandage;

• sizes may vary depending on the size of the girl’s head; after measuring, you should add a certain number of centimeters to each part, which will be used for the bow - this depends on the size of the afro-bow;
• cut out a strip of fabric; to create a beautiful large bow, you can insert frame wire;
