    DIY Pleated Bow Tie

    Materials needed:
    • fabric (if it’s super thin, double it up)
    • needle and thread
    • fabric glue
    • small piece of ribbon or trim

    1. Gather your materials.
    2. Cut fabric into two squares, anywhere from 4-7 inches, depending on how large you want your bow.
    3. Start with your first square, fold into a triangle
    4. Turn over and repeat the fold, resulting in a smaller triangle

    5. Take left corner, fold in a tiny bit to hide the point
    6. then fold it to center line.
    7. Pinch into the middle and stitch securely, catching all the layers.
    8. Repeat on the right side, creating a cute leaf shape. Create another leaf by repeated steps 2-8 with the other square.

    9. Put leaves face to face (pleated side together), and sew the top together with a few whip stitches. This will be covered with ribbon so don’t worry about making pretty stitches.
    10. Open up, and marvel at your cute bow shape!
    11. Cover mechanics by gluing a strip of ribbon.
    12. Then secure the bow to a ribbon which can be tied around the neck, or attach it to a brooch backing so it can be pinned on. Happy crafting!

About me

I'm Rachel! Live in Tennessee. I am officially reduced to a lowly freshman once again. But this time in college!

Some other 17 year old girl would put on here about how this is her trying to be unique or something. But I'm just here to be a christian. And not just to say I'm one, but to show it through what I say, how I dress, who I date, where I go. I'm just here to bring whoever I meet closer to God.
