I go through each step slowly, making it easy for you to follow along with me. So, whether you're a complete beginner or if you've struggled before, I'm going to get you to tie a bow tie today. One you can be proud of!
Why am I able to help when you haven't been able to do it before?
Well, just a couple of months ago I couldn't tie a bow tie either. I went through the same thing as you are right now, watching video after video because I couldn't get it right. That's because most videos skip over too quickly, or completely miss out, some of the steps of tying a bow tie.
So in this video, I make sure that I cover the two critical steps where most people go wrong or give up. And you'll get a close-up view of the most critical steps.
Tying it yourself…
Important: When tying your bow tie, stand in front of a mirror - it's MUCH easier to do it this way.
Here are the 5 steps to tying a bow tie yourself:
1. Length
An important step which most videos skip.
2. The first knot
Unlike almost every other video I've seen, I'm not going to tell you to have one side lower than the other. What's more important is the placement of the first knot.
3. Getting the bow shape
This is where you'll get an idea of how your bow tie will look from the front and how wide your bow will be. If it looks too wide or narrow, go back to step one because you'll need to adjust the length.
4. [First critical step] The second knot
When I first learnt to tie a bow tie, this is the part I got stuck on. So try not to rush it.
5. [Second critical and final step] Adjustments - (Here comes the magic!)
Hopefully you haven't given up yet because this is where it all happens and yet again most videos don't cover this in enough detail. I've got you covered!
Once you've mastered tying a self-tie bow tie, take a look here to add to your collection www.blueeyesbowties.com. You'll find bow ties for any occasion; wedding, prom or just because you're a fashion-conscious bow tie wearer!

This is the best tutorial I have seen. Hint, when watching turn video towards a mirror and watch in the mirror. Then your sides match his.
Thanks so much for your positive feedback. I really like the idea of using the mirror like that!
I had a ceremony this past weekend and was not able to tie my bow. I’m watching this now. I wish I found this video last week. 😂 Thank you sir.
Glad you found us in the end! Maybe next time...
You have no idea how helpful this video was, it was the only one that showed me exactly what to do!
Thank you AJ - it is so great to hear that. It's exactly why we made the video.
Very nice. I considered hanging myself with the tie about halfway through, but now I have the hang of it. Thanks!
I'm very glad to hear you got through it without resorting to anything extreme! Glad the video helped!
Hands down the most stressful 35 minutes of my life, but you sir, got me there.
Thank you.
The relation to this is beyond real lol
@@olinleak4438 that's what I felt too on my wedding day LOL
No one shows on UA-cam how to tighten the bow tie but you. Thank you
Thank you for watching our video - we added parts like tightening the bow tie because WE couldn't find it anywhere else either! Really glad it was useful for you.
Agree with the other commenters. Other instruction videos left me frustrated, yours allowed me to learn to tie a bow tie.
That's great to hear - thank you.
Hands down the best instructions video regarding bow tie, what you describe in the beginning is exactly how I felt about other videos, they all miss to explaining crucial details, brilliant mate.
That's great to hear, I'm really glad our video was useful to you and that you 'got' the reason why and how we made it. Thank you!
I am going to the opera tomorrow and I was despairing, your instructions worked, I am going to bed with the necktie done, I won't risk it. 😀
Hahaha! That's hilarious - really made us laugh! 😂 We hope you made it to the opera, bow tie in tact.
Hey Mate. You totaly made my day. I've my Wedding tomorrow and I had no clue how to tie a bow tie. Your explanation of the steps made it pretty easy for me to understand. 1000 thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations! Have a wonderful day. Really glad we could help.
This was the only video which actually helped me. Many thanks!
Really glad we could help! Thank you!
My apologies! I was so wrong. It was long and frustrating but the only man that actually got me to tie my tie. My thanks!
So glad you got there! We know the video is long but if you can bear with it, it really does work!
Best tutorial on youtube! Thank you!
Thank you!
Was totally lost till I found your video!! After watching twice I got it down!! Thank you so much!!
Really glad we could help - thanks for such positive feedback.
Finally!! A video that REALLY shows you step by step. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your comment and positivity towards our video. We know it's quite a long and in-depth video, which doesn't suit everyone, so I'm really pleased you found it useful.
Thank you for this video, I tried watching a tutorial before this one and got lost somewhere, I like how you took your time and explained it, I got it on my first try watching this, just need more practice.
I'm so glad the pace of the video worked for you. We do get some people saying it's too slow but we take our time so you can really get to grips with the technique. Well done for getting it on your first try too!!!
I have been attempting to tie a bow tie for month. Watched numerous videos. However, I believe I finally gots it after watching you!
That’s brilliant! Thanks so much for letting us know of your success. Really glad we could help.
I love British humor. And very instructive video, thank you.
Alex appreciated your comment on his humour! Thanks so much for your kind feedback, I'm really glad the video helped you.
thank you so much !!!! had been trying to tie my first bowtie, after 3 quite unsuccesful attempts, came accross your video...and voila !!!
Fantastic! So glad we could help and congrats on successfully tying your bow tie - here's to many more!
I have no idea how to tie a bowtie and now because of your step by step tutorial. I did it!!! Thank you very much. I'm so glad for this video. Other videos that I've watched is a joke!
That's great to hear! Very glad you were successful!
Simply brilliant. My frustrations are finally over. Wonderful
I know it’s 5 years since you made this video but I now finally today learned how to do this. 53 years old and I always wanted to know how. So simple when you understand but it looks so complicated when you don’t.
Playing in a snooker tournament - I wonder will I be the only one with a real bow tie there :)
Best of luck/we hope your snooker tournament went well. And huge 'cue-dos' for learning how to successfully tie a bow tie!!! Apologies for the poor joke!
This is the best video I have watched to actually tie a bow tie. 4 or 5 tries but I am there keep with it.
Well done, really glad to hear you succeeded!
Repetition
Excellent. The length, never talked about in other videos. perfect. The detail of how and where of what. perfect. I was asked to tie my employers tie for a very very important Banquet bowtie event with over a 1000 people there. He arrived with security walking up to me, handed me his tie and I put it over his neck and proceeded to nail it first try while on him with many people watching. Pressure like you would not believe. I snugged it and told him he was a handsome man. he thanked me. 100% true billionaire story.
Oh WOW! That’s amazing! How exciting! And well done to you for doing a perfect job!
The English accent makes it better! But seriously I got it with this video.
Excellent, social-life-saving presentation, especially the bit about neatening it up.
Happy to help! Glad you found the video useful.
At age 66, I just tied my first-ever bowtie with your help. The thumb trick is what solved it for me.
If you ever re-shoot this, consider reversing everything or shooting in a mirror. That way what I see on the screen matches my reflection (although much younger and better looking).
Great video, looked the part at a funeral respecting a chap that always had a bow tie. Thanks buddy 😊👍
What a lovely way to show your respects. Many thanks for your comment and glad we could help.
Your video is much more thorough than the rest here. Thanks dude.
That's exactly what we were hoping to achieve with this video so it's great to hear it worked for you! Thank you.
This is just a refresher course for.me. I tied one about ten years ago. Thank you very much. Hope your business grows! Most greatful.
Thanks so much! We appreciate your kind comment and are really glad you found our video useful.
My son and I just watched this to tie his bowtie before his school dance. It was so easy to follow!! We had almost given up after not understanding other videos. Thanks so much!
So wonderful to hear this! Thank you and I hope your son had a fantastic school dance.
Thank you SO much!!!!! After watching countless videos on this subject, I was finally able to get it done, thanks to you.
That’s really good to hear! So glad we could help.
I've watches this video like once a year over the past five years. This is the best bow tie tutorial. Thank you for explaining why inatead of just how.
Wow - Thank you so much 🙏 I'm glad you find the full explanation and demonstration useful. It's not to everyone's liking in this fast paced, low attention span world. Appreciate you coming back for your annual fix 😊
I'm 56 years old and I finally learned to tie a bow tie,. Many thanks and I'm so proud of myself as well.
We're proud of you too! Well done! It's great to hear when people succeed.
Thank goodness for you. I searched through at least four videos and kept moving on trying to find something I could understand...nice job.
Thanks for taking the time to watch our video - very glad it helped.
I really like how you tie your bowtie, use to work on a train, wanted something a little bit different, so I started to tie bowties that was a number of years ago since then I have forgotten how to tie them so, that is why I've been watching how you tie one!
Thanks Scott! I'm glad to hear you're back to wearing your bow ties. 😁
If you turn your phone to face the mirror and watch the video in the mirror, everything is the right way around - great tutorial.
Great tip, thank you!
OMFG!!!!
I’ve watched at least 20 videos on how to do this, (seriously didn’t think there were that many on here)🤣 and this by far the BEST one I’ve watched, and of course it had to made by an Englishman. 😉🇬🇧💂♂️
Really glad we could help! Thanks for your positive feedback.
The most effective bow tie tutorial video I've watched!!!!
Thanks Tony :)
Thank you! One of life's great mysteries brilliantly deconstructed.
Haha! Glad we could help!
Just want to give you a live update. Yesterday 45 min and 4 videos deep I was frustrated, ride showing up in 10 min. I came across your video and nailed it first try! THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic feedback! Thank you. Really happy our video helped just in the nick of time!
I watched 4 other videos on tying a bow tie and this is by far the best. The 5 steps are key. Way to go!
I hear this a lot Peter, makes it so worthwhile. Thank you!
This video was great! It helped me learn how to tie a bow properly so I could help my son.
Fantastic! I’m sure your son will look great in his bow tie!
@@blueeyesbowties It certainly looked a lot better because of your video! :D
Thank you so much
The deconstruction in the fourth step really helped
Getting dressed up for son’s wedding in June
Really glad to hear step 4 helped - it was one of the main reasons we made this video, because we couldn't find the finer details elsewhere. Thank you!
Best “How to tie a bow tie” I’ve seen. Very informative and easy to follow. Can you do one on “How to increase horsepower on a Chevy 5.7 l engine? From air intake to exhaust please. 😂
Haha! If he could, I'm sure he would!
Excellent video. He made the problem steps so simple. He nails it with the critical steps other instructions gloss over.
Thanks so much for the great feedback - we're really glad we achieved what we set out to do with our video and it's been helpful to you.
That was pretty good - I like how you pulled up to the camera so that I could see what was happening back there.
Thanks - I got it!
Very glad to hear you got it! Thanks for the feedback.
Super great and helpful video, my dude! Thanks a bunch!!!
No problem, glad we could help!
OMG perfect. Thank you for breaking down the finger positions and adjustments
Thank you! We're always so happy to hear when people benefit from the video in the way we intended!
Best video of the dozens out there. Much clearer.
Thank you!
The good ones make it look easy
Ive watched several videos but this is the first one that ACTUALLY tells you how to do it THANK YOU!!!!!
That's really good to hear! Thank you for your kind comment - glad the video worked for you!!
Bravo. Thank you for explaining which side of the loops to pull on to tighten. Wish I would have found this video sooner!
Glad it was helpful!
Best video for tying a bow tie that I've come upon.
Thanks Anthony, that's very much appreciate and we're glad our video was helpful for you 👍
This is the best video on the subject I have seen. Thank you.
Thank YOU! Really glad it helped.
I actually crocheted a bowtie for a teddy bear, but I didn't know how to tie one. Thanks so much for the tutorial. It was perfect!!
Wow, this is fantastic! We've never helped a teddy bear tie a bow tie before! How lovely! Really glad our video was helpful and thank you for the feedback 😊
Thank you sir. I am getting married in two hours and you helped me tie my bow tie.
Excellent news! Congratulations - have a wonderful day!
Best video in how to tie a bow by far!! Thank you!
So glad we could help! Thank you!
Ten thousand videos later, I got it. Thank you sir
You're welcome! Glad we could help.
I probably watched a dozen videos and read as many step by step walk-throughs with diagrams to no avail. Your tutorial was the only one that led me to finally figure out how to tie my bow tie. THANK YOU!!
Diana Rogatch I'm delighted our video was helpful to you! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
By FAR the BEST You Tube video on tying the illusive bow tie. And I worked for Brooks Brothers years ago here in the states so congrats on a fine instructional "how to'"
Thank you so much for your feedback - it's lovely to have confirmation of our video and I'm really glad you liked it.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Bought an undone bow tie for the first time and didn’t realize how hard it was to tie one! Best video out there and got it done on the second try. Really really appreciate your detail explanations
The perfect feedback - thank you! Some people find the instructions too much, but it's all in the detail and that's the point - so glad you got the value we intended from the video.
Well, the wedding is in an hour, but I finally got it! Thanks! Now to put on the rest of the clothes...
Haha! Hope the wedding was amazing!
It was you, sir, who actually showed me how to do it! Thank you! That final loop finally makes sense!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Jackson. Great to hear. Now you have a new world of self tie bow ties opened up to you 😉
Great video mate. I watched several others first, and tried some written tutorials, and as you say, they all get to the actual turning knot bit and go "and then just do it, and there you have it" cheers for actually going through the steps
We're really glad you mentioned this because it's exactly why we made the video - thanks so much for your feedback 😁
Thanks man! The trick with bow sliding over the thumb through the loop is a very good tip for beginners! At least it helped me out ;)
Really glad it helped, thank you!
Thank you so very much!!! We had to get a bowtie on my son for a dance he was invited to and I struggled and struggled with all the videos! Yours was fantastic and so helpful. Wonderful!
Fantastic! I'm so glad we could help! Thank you!
Great, thanks for the help!
No problem! Glad we could help.
Excellent and informative tutorial! I am now almost fluent with this magical procedure;- )
Glad it was helpful! Well done on your success!
You did an excellent job with this tutorial. I've only ever worn long ties, and bought my first bow tie on a whim... thanks to your tutorial, I was able to do it. Thank you!
That's fantastic news! Well done for learning how to tie your first bow tie! 🎉
After multiple attempts and at least 30other videos, this video is the first video that resulted in my learning how to successfully tie a bow tie. Thank you so very much. Excellent technique!
WOW! Amazing feedback - thank you so much! We're really glad our video helped you.
Exactly my experience!
The first video I've seen that shows what to do behind the first half of the bow. I was having so much trouble figuring out how to get the back half right until I watched this video.
That's the part of the tying process that we wanted to highlight - it's the bit many videos seemed to miss out. Glad it worked for you!
Thanks for the detailed video, finally managed to get a massive bow tie, now to reduce length and get something less appropriate for a circus clown😂
Well explained in detail. And thank you for not starting off by saying how easy it is 😂
Haha! Yes, it's not easy at first but once you've got the hand of it you'll be tying like a pro!
Best of the many videos I've watched. Thank you!
Fantastic to hear - really glad it helped you.
Thank you, I did struggle but now I have it!
Brilliant video, well explained. I was struggling with the critical parts of the technique which wasn't explained too well in other videos, but your explanation on how to position the fingers and how to find the thumb really helped me to get it right.
This is music to our ears! Thanks so much for your feedback - it's exactly the reason why we made this video in the first place. Really glad it helped you 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Finally I can tie a bow tie!
Glad we could help and well done!
I love this explainer (especially the laptop part) - the bit that made it really clear was that each side has a loop and an end !
That bit made us laugh too! 😂🤦🏼♀️
Definitely the best video “ how to tie bow tie
Finally I got it. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Thank you, never had to do this til the other day. Your video saved me cause the other quick ones were just too hard to follow
That's great to hear and just what we were hoping to achieve with our video - thank you!
Fabulously clear. I watched several other videos and this was the clearest by far. I actually tied it correctly the second time through.
Brilliant! Really happy to hear that our video helped you out.
Good video Alex, following your instructions, I Successfully tied my Bow Tie. Thank you sir. Be well.
I have watched about 7 bow tie instruction videos and this is the only one that has clicked. Thank you so much! 🙏🏿💌
So glad we could help! Thank you.
For real - best video out there on how to do this. You deserve 100 thumbs up
Thank you so much! Really glad to hear the video was helpful for you.
Excellent demonstration!!!!! Thank you.
You're very welcome! We're glad our video helped you.
3rd video I watched, the other 2 were terrible, but you absolutely nailed it! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Best tutorial and I've seen a lot. He goes in to each step in detail which is fantastic cause once you know these steps it will be so much easier and quicker in future.
Thank you so much Emilio 😊
Been struggling until I watched this video. Thanks so much. My struggles are over
Very glad we could help!
I agree completely with Diana below. This is the best video on how to tie a bow tie! Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for your kind comment! I'm really glad our video was useful to you.
Thank you very much, you included steps that the other instructors went quite fast. Cheers
I'm so glad you found the pace of our video helpful - it's something we are sometimes criticised for, but the whole reason we did it like that is because we found other videos didn't give certain steps the time they need. Thank you!
Great job. Thank you. I want to make one for my doctor😄
Absolute best instruction. I had my tie in beautiful shape by the second play through. Cheers!
Glad you got the perfect bow tie! Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
I have a university winter ball in 2 hours time and had no clue how to tie a bowtie. This was the fourth video I've watched and by far the best and most instructive, especially with the last bits that are most tricky!
Really glad the video helped! Hope you had a great time at the winter ball!
thank you young sir i bought two of your ties last week and was really chuffed to have a nice note from the craftswoman - helen also thank you for your great video so down to earth that even i have been successful - hooray !
Thanks so much for your kind feedback! I'm glad the video worked for you. Great choice of bow ties too - two of my favourites.
You freaking rock! Ready for my wedding!!
Congratulations! Hope you have an amazing day!
Wow, this made so much sense, got it on the first try with your help, thank you kind sir.
Fantastic - just what we love to hear!
Thank you!! I'm so glad this one popped up as the second video I watched! I only had to watch it once all the way through before tying my son's tie for a dance, and it came out perfect! You definitely covered details that helped me through.❤🙏❤
That's music to our ears! So glad the video helped you. Thank you!
This is the best video I’ve found for tying a bow tie. Thanks! Now that I’ve practiced it a lot, Here are two additional lessons learned: 1) To avoid major adjustment in that last step…In step one, you’ve got to pull the two ends until snug. But that makes the material bunch up. If you make sure the material lays flat it is much easier to do the later step of putting the bow through the back hole. 2) Might want to train up a close friend to tie it for you. After learning how to tie the bow tie on myself, it wasn’t too hard to figure out how tie it around my husband’s neck (my ultimate goal). I found it much easier to tie it on him than myself.
Thank you so much for making this video. I found step 5 critical, in particular when you explain that to tighten, you pull on the back of the right loop and the front of the left loop. Many other bowtie tutorials omit this detail! (I kept fiddling around with the loops and flaps, unable to actually tighten the center of the bow.) Also, your method of using a straight index finger to fold the edge of the first loop is very helpful.
Thanks Arthur! We're really glad the video helped you - it's particularly good to hear that the bit we added (that most videos miss out) was useful. That's one of the main reasons we made this video. Thanks again!
