Cut bias tape to 14-inches. (you might want to adjust this length for the child you are making it for) Fold ends in 1/4-inch and stitch the length of the tape. This can be done on a sewing machine but I simple whipped stitched it with needle and thread.
Place the bow on a flat surface; Lay the bias tape on top of the bow; Wrap the knot piece around both the bow and the tape right in the center. (see bow to the right side of the below photo) Using a length of yarn or a needle and thread, sew the knot securely around the bow.
In my hurry making the second bow, I sewed the knot around the bow before adding the bias tape, so I sewed it on using a needle and thread. Both ways work so use your preference.
Using package directions, iron and secure the Velcro onto each end of the bias tape making sure you have the correct placement as the bow tie goes around the neck.
