1. For sewing projects we make over and over we like to make paper patterns to keep. The measurement for the large piece is 9 inches x 4.5 inches. You'll also need a matching tiny piece that is 1.25 inches x 2.5 inches. 2. Iron fusible interfacing on the back of the large piece and trim the edges if you need to. 3. Fold the long edges in towards the middle. 4. Fold both open ends in toward the middle. At this stage I like to iron it in the rectangle folds for extra crisp edges! 5. Pinch your rectangle in the center to create a bow shape and stitch it at the folds. 6. Stitch a bow tie clip on both sides (we bought ours from Etsy under "supplies") on the back of the bow tie. 7. Fold the tiny piece of fabric just like step 3, iron it, then wrap and stitch it on the center of your bow tie! 8. Done! Time to dress up! 
We used a mini gingham fabric and our hand stamped fabric that we made too! 
Have a great day! Elsie + Kinsey

That is awesome! My husband was just telling me that I should keep my eyes open for good bowties to add to his work wardrobe. Maybe I will make him one!
This is a great piece of info to have if you dont want to wear a regular tie.
Fantastic! I might have to make a new one for my cutie… 😉
Nice, and it looks so simple. I love it.

I love bow ties and make a point to buy them when ever I see them (I work for goodwill, lucky me). I’m pretty picky though and only wear bowties that I have to tie, kinda feel like its a lost art lol. Think you could show us how to make a bow tie that we have to tie? I would be ever so grateful 🙂
So easy and cute!
My hubby’s sister is getting married & this is the perfect accessory for his suit…& by using a hair clip instead of a tie clip, I can make coordinating hair bows!

So cute! Those bow tie clips are so clever!

It was a beautiful blog, very interesting and very informative. I really enjoyed reading it. Keep it up.

I love that you put this. The crazy thing is that the other day I was driving around and brain storming on something to get my boyfriend for valentines day. After four years we are over the traditional gifts and long for something much more useful and this came to mind. I happened to stop by your blog today and lo and behold you posted this exact idea. Great minds think alike! =]
Unbelievably dinky. Particularly love the way you’ve photographed the bow ties against pages of old books. Nice.
