diy bow tie pin

Last week I featured this little bow tie beauty inspired by UO’s design in my outfit post. I thought I’d show you all how I made this super easy piece with some fabric scraps and a safety pin – an easy way to add a little whimsy prep to your look! No worries, you don’t need to use as bold of fabric as I did (you all know I’m a sucker for color lol). It would look lovely in a charcoal grey or rose pink for example, and I love how UO shows it being worn as a hair accessory as well. So follow along in this 5 minute project and enjoy!

What you will need:

a yard of fabric, a safety pin, and scissors

Step One:

Cut out a strip of fabric roughly 5″x30″.

Step Two:

Tie your fabric into a floppy bow, with the loops and ends falling at the same length.

Step Three:

Slip your safety pin into the tied loop in the back of your bow. Once placed, you’re all done!

how I wore it

Simple enough anyone can do! Clip it on a basic shirt to add a little dimension, wear it as a secured hair ribbon, pin it to your belt for some flair, or make a few to place on the front of your sandals…the possibilities are endless!

How would you wear this sweet bow tie? Have you done any amazing DIY projects lately you’d like to share? Let me know!
