Learn how to convert your traditional neck tie into a bow tie with these simple steps.

Step1. Place your tie on a flat surface. Take the thicker end and work your way around to the other side depending on the desired length of the bow.

Step2. Pinch the upper panel as shown in the picture.

Step3.  Now take the thinner end crossing over the dimple to the other side and then do it again twice to form a ‘zee’.

Step4. You will see the left side has three folds and the right one has two.

Step5. Take the thinner panel from mid-way.

Step6. Turn it over in a vertical fashion as shown in the picture.

Step7. Take it towards the backside to form a knot and adjust. You can now see the bow taking its shape.

Step8. Take the same panel and make a loop and fix it into the knot at the back like this.

And there you go! You just converted your boring old tie into a fancy bow tie.
