  Step 1

  First you'll need a bow tie template.. it should look sort of like this.. you can download them from various sites. i got this one from Google images.

  you'll need to cut 2 of these

• Step 2

  place these two pieces right sides together and sew most of the way around, leaving a 2" gap. iron it flat and turn it out the right way.

• Step 3

  hand sew the gap closed, and fold it.

  how to fold:
  fold it in half and iron it. fold it flat again, bring the centre back lines into the fold lines and sew.

• Step 4

  cut a small rectangle of matching fabric, and fold the raw edges into the middle and iron. wrap this around where you've sewn in the center of the bow tie and sew

• Step 5

  now cut a bigger rectangle that will reach comfortably around your neck, thats about 2 inches thick. fold it in half and sew down the length

• Step 6

  sew one end of this rectangle to the back of the bow tie, then sew a snap fastener onto that. sew the other half of the snap fastener to the other end of that rectangle.

• Step 7

  YAY! you're done!!
