Though tying your bow tie is an important skill, you don’t need a bag of tricks to fasten one. So, without further ado let’s get started on how to tie a bow tie.
STEP 1
Pull up your collar. Grab your bow tie and lay it around your neck. Adjust the bow tie such that the left side should be longer than the right one by an inch.
STEP 2
Now, cross the left end over the top of the right end.
STEP 3
When one end is over the other, pass the longer end into the neck loop from under. Be mindful of the thing that it should hang longer than the right end by an inch.
STEP 4
Grab the right end and form a bow with it. Keep the fold on the right and flap on the left.
STEP 5
Lower the left end over the half-formed bow tie.
STEP 6
Now, form a bow with the fold on the right and flap on the left similar to the way you tie your shoelaces. By doing so, you will be folding to form a mouth.
STEP 7
Put the bow through the loop at the back of the left side bow. It will be easy to do this top right corner first. This completes the rough bow tie.
STEP 8
Keep tugging and pulling the bow tie to make sure it sits in place tightly. To rebalance the bows, pull on the flaps.
STEP 9
Center it between your collar. Pop down your collar and tuck behind the bows.

The 4 Step Guide to Make Bow with Thin Ribbon:
Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1
Cut 2 Pieces from The Ribbon
Lay the ribbon on a flat surface and measure out two pieces; one of 12 inches and the other of 9 inches. And cut them out. Adjust the length to your liking. If you are making it for an older individual, double the lengths of both pieces, and if for a younger child, shorten the lengths.
STEP 2
Fold The Longer Piece of Ribbon
Fold the longer piece and sew both sides together with the thread.
STEP 3
Fold The Shorter Piece of Ribbon
Take the shorter piece of ribbon and fold it. Then overlap it in the center of the longer piece of ribbon and sew the two ends together with the remaining thread.
You can even do this step on a sewing machine if you have one. However, to keep it as simple as possible, we recommend just using a needle.

Once that is done, hot glue the bow tie to the center of the fresh piece of ribbon.
And voila! Your bow tie is complete and ready to be worn.
