Step 3: Invert the fabric so the stitches are inside, and then pinch the center to form a bow. Sew the bow by running the thread vertically through the pinched section multiple times. 

Step 4: Wrap the other rectangle around the center of the bow and sew together in the back. Trim any extra fabric.

Step 5: Fold the hair elastic in half and sew together. Then sew it to the center of the small 1″ x 1″ square.
