It's easy to find Christmas decorations for your doors and for your trees, but what about for your kids? Hair bows are an adorable way to add just a touch of Christmas cheer to any outfit, and they're just as fun to make as they are to wear.

From a glittery Frozen bow to a reindeer clip, all of these tutorials are easy to follow. By the end of the list, you'll have a collection of bows that stylish kids looking for a little holiday flair are guaranteed to love ... or at least not rip out of their hair before the end of the holiday photo shoot. 

Which of these bows will you try making this Christmas? Do you think you could make #3?

How cute is this little snowman clip? This tutorial from Kayla for How Does She is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the patience and nimble fingers required, then there are instructions to make a snowman with earmuffs or a little hair bow of her own.

Peppermint Flower

Amy Giggles Designs's Christmas flower hair bow uses leftover fabric and thread instead of the traditional ribbon and glue, so chances are you can make it with scraps laying around the house. The flower shape and chevron fabric is reminiscent of a peppermint candy, making it perfect for a sweet holiday treat for the kids.

Christmas Rosette Bow

This no-sew Christmas rosette bow can be made out of whatever scraps of fabric you have laying around. All you need to do is wrap the fabric around itself and glue to a felt base. Add a feather for flair, or leave it without. Either way, it's an adorable addition to any Christmas outfit!
