1. Use a brooch
Wrap one of the ends of the tie around your neck.
Now wrap the other tie around your neck in the opposite direction.
Secure the tie with a pretty brooch.
There’s actually no bow at all with this style!
2. Tucked tail style
For a chic, professional style, criss-cross and wrap the ends around your neck as you did in the first style.
Now, tuck the tails into the criss-cross to hold them in place.
3. Flower effect
Overlay the two ends of the tie, and fold them upward, over and over.
When you reach the top, secure the folded ties with a hair elastic or elastic band.
Fluff out the bow, and it will look like a beautiful big flower.
