Naturally Bow Tie


So I know this is sort of cheating because I didn't write it myself but I found this in teenvogue a few months ago and I've been wanting to share it with you for a while now. It is an instruction on how you can "add some girlish charm to the classic men's accessory. Learn how to do it yourself now:" (By designer Timo Weiland)


(Below, Right) Boys' Club
Actress Annabelle Dexter-Jones, with designing duo Timo Weiland (left) and Alan Eckstein, models the bow tie-and-chain necklace they made.


 
What You'll Need
Chambray bow tie (we used one from American Apparel: americanapparel.net)
Seam ripper
1 large and 1 medium gold chain
1 small brass chain
Straight pins
Needle-nose pliers
Brass jump ring
Lobster hook
Needle and light-blue thread

 
Opening Ceremony
REMOVE STRAP FROM BOW TIE with seam ripper. Attach the chains to the bow with pins to get desired effect.
 
Chain Gang
UNPIN THE CHAINS and USE PLIERS TO SHORTEN them to preferred length. Then open the jump ring with the pliers.
 
The Hookup
ATTACH JUMP RING and LOBSTER HOOK TO THE CHAIN that fastens behind the neck. Sew the chains in place.
 
And you're ready to go!
