Self-tie Bowtie Tutorial

How to tie a self-tie bowtie

STEP 1 - MAKE THE RIGHT WING SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN THE LEFT

STEP 2 - CROSS THE RIGHT WING (LONGEST IN LENGTH) OVER THE LEFT WING TO BEGIN TYING THE TIE AND FORMING THE BOW.

STEP 3 - LOOP THE RIGHT WING (LONGEST IN LENGTH) UNDER WHERE THE TWO CROSS, PULL BOTH ENDS SO THAT IT'S COMFORTABLY TIGHT AROUND YOUR NECK. THEN LET IT REST ON YOUR SHOULDER.

STEP 4 - FOLD THE LEFT WING (SHORTEST IN LENGTH) TO BEGIN ACTUALLY FORMING THE BOW. HOLD THE FOLD TOGETHER AT THE SKINNIEST PART OF THE BOW.

STEP 5 - DROP THE LONGER END OVER THE SKINNY CENTER OF THE BOW.

STEP 6 - NOW PINCH THE BOW TOGETHER WITH THE LONG END STILL IN BETWEEN THE BOW.

STEP 7 - PUSH THE DANGLING WING THROUGH THE LOOP FORMED BEHIND THE BOW TO FORM THE BACK HALF OF THE BOW. (REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST PUSH THE DOUBLE SIDE BEHIND THE SINGLE SIDE SO THAT THE BOW FORMS EVENLY.)

STEP 8 - ONCE THE BOWTIE IS FORMED, PULL THE END OF EACH WING. WITH THE LEFT HAND PULL THE FRONT DOUBLE SIDED PORTION OF THE BOW. WITH THE RIGHT HAND PULL THE BACK DOUBLE SIDED PORTION OF THE BOW.
​
STEP 9 - STRAIGHTEN AND ADJUST THE BOWTIE TO YOUR LIKING.

I watched ten and this was by far the best. No talking and unique way to hold the two wings while making the loop. Thank you!

If “action speaks louder than words” was a person. This good man taught me how to knot bow tie in less than 1 minute without saying a word👏🏾🙏🏾

Finally, somebody shows it correctly & easily.

Proof that a 10 min talking vid is irrelevant. 1st time I ever saw a short do WAY better than a full length vid. BRAVO!

I don't know how many videos I've watched on repeat to see how this is done. My problem was with the "just adjust the tie to your liking" part. Now I see what they were talking about. This is by far the best way I've seen to do this. Thank you for helping us learn this!!

Somehow, this silent tutorial helped me a LOT better than the voiced "professionals". The way you're quick but slow at the same time, enough for me to understand is amazing. Thx😎

Thanks for having a video that didn't hard cut to 20 different angles within 3 minutes. This was perfect. Thank you!

This man is a hero. Gets it done rather than spending 10 minutes talking about the history and types of bow ties before getting into the tutorial.

[MrSLindborg]

YouTube needs to pin this video to the top of everything ❤ thank you
