how to make a bow tie

Little gentlemen need little gentlemen attire...plus it's just too darn easy and cute not to make!
Directions stolen from here...then slightly altered...

1. 1.5" ribbon, 8" long .

2. Fold one end as shown

3. Fold the other end. This is the back view of the bow

4. Top view


5. Fold in half , I dabbed hot glue to keep it in place.

6. Side view of step 5

7. Fold one of the edge in half, and hot glue.


8. Fold the other edge, and hot glue.
9. top view.
10. Cover the elastic thread by wrapping 3/8" ribbon around the center. Then hot glue the bow on lined alligator clips.

and youre done!

and oh yes, it can be a hair bow as well!
