How do you tie Christmas bows?

Answer 1

'Tieing' the KnotIn the case of tying a knot in a necktie, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words. Believe it or not, there's a specific website that will show you exactly how to go about making the following popular knots:

• Windsor Knot
• Half Windsor Knot
• Four in Hand Knot
• Tying a bow tie.

A WikiAnswers participant explains the steps

1. Stand in front of the mirror with your collar up, your shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and the tie around your neck. The thick end of the tie should be on the side of your dominant hand. So if you're right-handed, the wider end should be hanging on your right side.
2. Look for a seam on the front of the narrow end of the tie.
3. Move the thick end over the narrow end so they cross each other on the seam.
4. Pull the thick end behind the narrow end, bring it around, and lay it over the narrow end again.
5. Repeat. Wrap the thick end around the narrow end once more, just as described in the previous step.
6. Pull the thick end of the tie all the way through the loop around your neck.
7. Pull the thick end down through the knot.
8. Tighten the knot by sliding it up the narrow end. Make sure your tie is straight and the length is appropriate.

Answer 2

I'm going to assume you have typed ribbon twice by mistake. There are many different ways to attach ribbon, depending on the item you are attaching it to. You can use a long, thin strip of glue along the entire length of the ribbon to attach it to greeting cards, scrapbooks, and belts. You can use a sewing stitch along the center of the ribbon, to sew it to fabric, or a zig-zag stitch along one edge or both. You can take several strips of ribbon sewn together at one end, and tack that end to your item as a tassle.

I hope that answers your question.

Put the strap of the bow tie around your neck. Under the knotted part of the tie should be a loop; the end of the strap has a clasp to attach to the loop. Either loosen or tighten the tie to get the best fit by sliding the metal buckle on the tie. The metal clip which is behind the knotted part of the pie needs to be attached to the shirt, either side of the collar.

Answer 4

Traditionally, they're tied on, but this is pretty uncommon and most people would have no idea how to tie one. Most bow ties these days either clip on to the collar (the "wings" fold forward to loosen a clamp, which is then slipped over the collar and the wings folded back again) or are attached to a strap which goes around the neck and hooks to the other side using a fastener similar to those found on Bras. The latter is the type used for most formalwear.
