What You Will Need
- 2 pieces of Velcro
- A strip of fabric 2x5 inches for the middle

Step 2
Fold 1/3 of the material back on itself.
Step 3
Fold over the other side.
Step 4
Using the 2x5 piece of fabric, fold 1/3 of it over itself width-wise. Then fold the other side over the top of that.
Step 5
Pinch the bow in the middle and tie the strip in a knot.
Step 6
Cut off the excess.

Place one Velcro square on the front-middle of your ribbon, and a connecting square on the underside of your bow tie. Then place another set of corresponding Velcro squares on your ribbon’s front right side and under its left side.
