I watched by friend make a hair bow, but I can't remember all the steps and it would be too hard to explain...

But I can help you with the coon stripes.

Take a human hair extension, the width can be your preference.

Then take the hair dye of your choice and put it on in stripes.

Like from left to right, about an inch or so thick.

Then move down an inch or so, depending on hair length and do it again.

Wait until it is all processed and then use ICE COLD water to rinse it so that the color doesn't bleed. Use a conditioner on it and then let it air dry.

Its not difficult to make simple bows, but buying all of the ribbon just to make one bow will seem wasteful. There are some really good home business craft guys out there that sell them. Check out http://prissysissybows.etsy.co... They have some really cute bows there for good prices. Report It

You can buy hair exteniosn at Sally's Beauty. They do not sell racoon ones but I'm sure you could do it yourself.

This is how to make a hairbow:

1. Select a ribbon. Satin, velvet, nylon, cotton, gingham - whatever takes your fancy. Be aware that the more slippery the fabric, the harder to work with and the same if it is very thick. It is good to start with a grosgrain ribbon to practice with. The more expert that you become at making hair bows, the easier it will become and you can explore other types of ribbon.

2. Choose a width of ribbon that suits the bow you wish to make.

3. Measure ribbon to the length you desire. Cut it.

4. Fold both ends of the ribbon into the center. Glue the ends to stay together.

5. Take a small piece of ribbon and wrap it around the center. Glue it shut.

6. Slide a clip/bobbypin under the wrap you just did. Glue it there for support.

7. Your hair bow ribbon is ready for you to wear.
