It's NOT what you think!
But today I am very excited to share with you My latest Tutorial.
Here is what you are going to need:
I started with a 12" Square Pillow I had made.
You can make this bowtie for any size pillow, you will just need to adjust the measurements.
First take your 2 sheets of felt
and Fold One sheet in half.
And with the second sheet cut 3 strips
{2} 12"long x 1.5" wide
{1} 6"long x 1.5" wide
They should look like this:
Next take your folded full sheet and
Hot Glue the edges down.
You COULD also sew this as well. Which ever way you prefer!
For me, the glue gun was faster.
Once the glue is dry, take and pinch the rectangle in the middle to make your bow.
And then bring the top edge and bottom edge to the middle.
Next take your smallest strip,
(it should be 1.5" x 6")
And wrap it around the center of your bow.
Apply another line of hot glue
And wrap the strip all the way around the middle of your bow.
Next take your last 2 strips that measure
12"x1.5" and glue them to the back of the bow.
Once you have applied both strips, the backside of your bow should look like this:
Lastly, wrap your ties around the middle of your pillow
and glue your ends together on the back side.
So when you flip your pillow to the front it should look like this!
To keep your Bow from being floppy, hand stitch, with a needle & thread,
the four corners of the bow down to the actual pillow.
Then I paired it with a few others I had made.
Thanks for letting my share my Tutorial here today!

icandy handmade has some incredible tutorials!!!! You need to go over and spend a couple hours looking through their site! I'm loving this refashioned shirt that looks like it ties in a bow in the front!!!! GORGEOUS! It's made from two t-shirts!
See Kate Sew created a super easy, yet super stylish bow pillow. It looks great on top of the vintage suitcase chair she made. 
Poppies At Play has another great idea!!! She made a measuring tape into hair bow and headband! So simply darling! 
While this flower made from book papers is meant to be an ornament at Dreaming Under The Table, I am seeing many different possibilities for it! A hair bow, brooch, adornment, etc. Even though paper not hold up the best, I think it could work. (Or some company should just print old book pages on material)! .jpg)
I saw this a few weeks ago (I think it was on Craft Gossip?) and loved this big bow skirt. I also love how it can be worn as a shirt. LiaSpace shows this off and links to the tutorial. See the big bow skirt/shirt.
You've seen those darling korker bows around! Now you can know how to make some for yourself by visiting The Sassy Crafter. 
This is an AMAZING idea! Head over the The Mother Huddle to learn about a magnet board bow keeper. Because many girls' bows have a metal clip, it will stick to a magnet (and thus a magnet board). Go HERE to see your next project!!!
If you thought the ruffle butt onesie is cute, you will love this flower butt onesie! Isn't that so cute! There are flowers on the front too! 
Don't pay the price in the J-Crew magazine ($70) for this flowered tank. Make it yourself with this tutorial from Love Stitched. Go HERE to save yourself A LOT of money. You could also make this on a shirt if you don't wear tanks!
Use your selvege and scraps to make darling flower clips for your hair, shirt and bags. See how to make these at A Vision To Remember. Go HERE.
These sock monsters are hilarious! What little kid wouldn't love a bunch of these? Learn about there quirky personality traits and how to make them by visiting That's So Cuegly and following the links! Go HERE.
What a fun gift for a baby shower!!! A bassinet made from diapers. I saw this idea on Designing and Motherhood. There's not a tutorial, so you will have to figure out how to make it! There are a few other baby shower gift ideas HERE. 
Pop rocks have to be one of my favorite treats to watch little kids eat! I just love their expressions (especially the first time they try it). So this pop rock Valentine is perfect! See it HERE at Casa Camacho.
Wouldn't flowers like this look cute in your daughter's hair or as a brooch? I think so! See how to make them at CrafteNVy. Go HERE.
Make a light saber or sword with a noodle and some PVC pipe. Perfect for any boy (or girl, if they are like my daughter). See the tutorial on Dude, I Made It. Go HERE.
This is another idea I would have done when I was younger. I LOVE the dressing up as a nerd idea!!!! So funny! Find a few more personalized Valentine ideas at the Sadleir's. Go HERE.
