DIY Bow tie

 

I have wanted to do bow tie, for a while, and i thought that i could do a post about it, when I'm doing it.
I tried fin some patterns for my bow tie but i didn't find anything, what i would wanted, and I just felt too lazy to tug my sewing machine from my cabinet, so I chosed the easy way, use the hot glue pistol. So this is just something what I adapted on my own. It was super easy, and quick to do.

 

 

 

What you need:

Hot glue pistol, cisars, pen, tracing paper (normal paper will work as well), fabrick, and also rurel, and pins.

 

Patterrns:

You can skip this part if you want, but if you are going to do more than this one, it's just easyer to do it.

I wanted to do the ordinary bow tie size, but you can edit it as you want. My patterrn was 10x9cm so it was littele bit over 2x how big i wanted my bow to be.

 

Start the glueing:

After you have cutted the fabrick accoarding the pattern, glue the both edges to the middele on the longitudinal direction. .

 

Then glue both open heads together.

And you get something like this. Now think how wide strap you want to it, and cut littele bit over 2x of it (mine was 3cm).  Glue the both edges to the middle.

When you are adding that you can put between that an safety pin, pin or what ever you want.

 

And there you go!

 

I hope you find this post helpful, and easy to understand.
