I have had several inquires about Gemma's hair bows seen here, here and here. They are so easy I almost feel silly doing a how-to but your wish is my command! :)
You need: narrow ribbon; I use 1/8" wide, scissors, a tooth pick and corn syrup.
Cut a length of ribbon about 8". Make two loops. Now tie them together. (You know, the bunny runs around the tree and into the hole...). Adjust the loops and tails until it looks even. Clip the tails.
Dip a toothpick into the corn syrup. With the toothpick smear a drop or two of the corn syrup onto the back of the bow and stick it on your baby girls head. Gemma's bows usually stay stuck to her head until I give her a bath. Once one stayed on for three days because I was lazy and didn't bathe her!

Corn syrup! Who would have thought?
Corn syrup. Who would have thought?
I would never have thought to stick something to my baby's head with corn syrup! How clever is this? I shall have to try it! And oh, your little girl is SOOO cute!
She is absolutely a doll. We recently lost our son at 22 weeks pregnant. It has been so difficult to go through the induction and delivery then through the burial. But seeing Gema's smiles so full of life and personality have brightened many of my days. :) Thank you for sharing not only a clever tip but the joy of your family with all of us. They are beautiful.
@erin- i am so sorry for your loss! i can't imagine how painful this experience has been for you. my thoughts are with you and your girls!
Love this! I used to use corn syrup on my daughter's head and some of my friends thought I was so weird! It's what my Mom and Aunt's always used so I just thought everyone did it. So glad to see I'm not the only corn syrupy hairbow fan!
yummy baby!!
So stinkin' cute! I want a little girl!!
