     Easter is late this year, so there is still time to whip up some of these bow ties that I told you about a couple of years ago!  I almost forgot how cute they came out! I thought I would repost them today so you can get started. 
     It seems like it is so much easier to do sewing for my granddaughters than for my grandsons.  So, this year for Easter, I decided to make my grandsons bow ties! I found a cute, easy pattern on House of Ideas. Seriously, I whipped these up in one short afternoon! Of course, the fun part is finding the fabric to make them out of.  I was able to get 3 ties out of 1 fat quarter.  I didn't realize that would happen, so of course I purchased way too much fabric! Oh well!

I made 3 of these bow ties out of the Dios de los Muertos fabric. Since my Son In Law, Adrian, worked on the Movie Coco, I knew I had to use this fabric for his son. Then I made two more from the same fabric for grandsons who love the movie!

     Walmart has some adorable fat quarters to choose from that are only under $1.00!  That makes these ties pretty reasonable.  Add your thread and a package of Velcro and you are ready to go.
      When I was picking out fabric, I kept scrunching it into a bow shape to get the idea of how it would look as a tie.  It was fun.  No wonder I now have enough fabric for 10 more ties! 
      *One tip, when you are cutting our your ties, be sure of the direction of the fabric.  I kept struggling with the shark fabric to get those sharks swimming in the right direction.  It isn't really that hard, you just need to be mindful.

We didn't have a chance to dress up for Sunday yet because we stayed home on Sunday and watched our church's General Conference on a televised broadcast. I can't wait to see the boys wear them next Sunday!
      So, if you are looking for something quick, simple and adorable to make for your grandsons, (or sons) I hope you like this idea!

These ties are so beautiful. I was particularly looking for these ties for my son. These are unique and quick to set.

I love the idea even though I am not crafty or coordinated to work with this type of project. My Grandson (7) was looking for a bow tie for “bow tie Sunday” at our church

So cute. There is quite a lot of cute fabric out there right that would look so cute made into a bow tie.

I don't see directions anywhere. There is a gray area with a sad face at the end. Maybe this is it? But maybe the link is broken?

Sorry Jaci! I should have checked to see if they were still online before I posted! I'll have to write up some directions myself I guess!
