3. Add embellishments and bobby pin

Take some nylon thread, fold it in half to double it, and slide it through a pearl bead.

This will also create a little loop of thread to the bead so you can easily secure it to the knot at the center of the bow.

Adding a bobby pin

Slide a bobby pin through the nylon string at the back of the bow.
