HOW TO TIE A BOW TIE. To tie a bow tie, the first step is to make sure that one end of the bow tie is longer than the other by a few inches. The longer end of the tie should be on your right side. Cross the longer end of the bow tie over the shorter end. Bring the longer end of the bow tie underneath the shorter end and then bring it out from the center. Fold the shorter end of the bow tie horizontally. Place the longer end of the bow tie over the shorter end. Fold the longer end of the bow tie horizontally. Insert the longer end of the bow tie through the loop at the back of the shorter end. Pull both ends gently to tighten the knot. Adjust as needed--and don't worry, slight imperfections add character.
Cut a piece of the narrow ribbon, long enough to make a band that wraps around the box, and lay it across the bow, then wrap a shorter piece around the two and tie a simple knot as shown (below, middle). Pull tight and shape the bow until it looks good to you; this might take a bit of trial and error. You can pull more of the bow out on the sides to make it fluffier, as we did in the first photo. Then lay the bow across the box, trim and tape the ends of the band underneath the box, and trim the tails of the bow tie. 2.
