Tying a bow tie
|
I figured I'd try a bow tie for New Years tomorrow. This is my first time, and this is one of the most difficult things ever. I've watched YouTube videos over and over and still can't get it. I can get the bow formed, but when I go to try and tighten it, it falls apart.
Anyone have any easy tips? We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
My Dad always calls it the 10% rule. You have to be 10% smarter than the tie to figure it out. Ahhhi'm just kidding. It'll be worst when you figure out the knot correctly. It'll take you 20 tries to get the length right.

I have a brother-in-law that's a professor of mathematics that routinely ties his own bow ties, but unless you live near Thibodaux Louisiana I recommend youtube.

They don't need to look perfect, in fact that's a good thing since they are intrinsically quirky. I happen to think clip on bowties are so perfectly done that they look fake. You can spot them a mile a way and look bad IMO

It's easy Bill Nye has a tutorial online also but I couldn't find it quickly enough. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
I got it figured out. Had one of my managers show me. It really is a lot easier than I thought.
Why not tie it once, cut it in the back, and then when you want to put it on, just tape it together in the back?
