How To Reshape Hair Bows // And Clean Them


Ok girl moms, this post is for you! A few quick tips and tricks for re-shaping those beautiful handmade bows we all know, love, and buy from the amazing Etsy community of mom-trepreneurs. Even though I’ve only been a girl mom for a little over two years now, I’ve been collecting handmade hair bows since Abby was in my belly. 

And since daily sneak peaks of fall bows are starting to pop up everywhere on Instagram, I thought these tips and tricks would be really helpful as we are all currently adding to our collection this time of year. : )

How to remove a stain and reshape bows 

Please keep in mind before reading the last idea, that every bow shop has a different type of material and design. So, I really encourage you to read the “care section” in your bows shop before trying this last one out.  

1. Remove clasp from back of bow.
2. Spray stain with Shout.
3. Then wash bow in cold water on delicate cycle.
4. Let bow air dry.
5. Spray bow with Downy wrinkle releaser on top of a dry towel.
6. Reshape as desired with hands and let air dry.



I hope these ideas help keep those pretty little handmade bows fresh and clean for you and your little girl(s) and just let me know if have any questions!


Warmly, Steph
