DIY folded paper bow tie


Justina Yang of Fiber Lab has invented a papercraft bow tie and made the template available as a PDF. I looooove it. See her post here to grab the folding diagram. If you try folding this yourself and end up with a crumpled paper ball, you can always order one from the Fiber Lab Etsy shop.

    That is sooo cool. I'm going to have to pass this along to my nephew who is a big bow tie lover.

    I'm going to have my library's origami class make me one of these. Last year, I had to borrow a bow tie from my co-workers husband for a princess tea party...ok, don't ask..mostly because they are so expensive. Now I can make one for less and if it breaks after one use, it's all good! Thanks!
