DEE EYE WHY

diy anthropologie vintage scarf corset belt

This DIY is best suited for intermediate sewers since sewing the leather belt is kind of tricky. An easier way to make it would be to skip the belt in the back and just add some suede or fabric ties. Supplies:

Vintage silk scarf

Pieces of leather (all the leather I use comes from thrifted clothing. The quality is often much better than the leather sold at craft stores and best of all it’s a great way to recycle!)

Leather hole punch

Belt buckle (mine came from a thrifted belt)

How To Tie A Bowtie

1. Adjust the tie’s length so it fits your neck size.

2. Lift up your collar and put the tie around your neck so the ends hang down in front. One end should hang about one and one-half inches lower than the other.

3. Bring the longer end across, behind and over the shorter end, forming a simple knot. Pull the knot snugly around your neck.

4. Fold the shorter end where the hourglass shape begins to narrow (the widest point of the shorter end), forming a bow shape. The bow shape should be in front. Hold the bow in a horizontal position at your neck.

5. Bring the longer end over and in front of the shorter end.

6. Fold the longer end where the hourglass shape begins to narrow, forming a second bow.

7. Bring the second bow under the first bow.

8. Tuck it into the space behind the first bow.
