THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT
- 2 pieces of leather (different) 20 x 30 cm - 0.5 mm thick
- 4 mini snap buttons – Nickel plated – diameter 10.5 mm
- Manual press pliers and installation set for installing mini snap buttons
- 2mm and 4mm cookie cutters
- 2 sliding buckles – Nickel plated – 16 x 10 mm
- 2 half-round rings – NICKEL PLATED – 14 x 12 x 2.2 mm
- Black tear-proof adhesive tape
- 1 silver pencil
- 1 metal ruler or rule
- 1 cutting mat
- 1 cutter and scissors
- Fabric (for the neck circumference) of at least 10 x 65 c
- As well as a sewing machine and polyester thread.
1. CUT OUT THE 4 PIECES (FOR EACH KNOT – FATHER & SON)
Using the silver pencil, trace the pieces on the leather.
Cut out the rectangles using a ruler and a cutter (or a pair of scissors).
Piece n°1 (largest knot) -> 1 time (leather 1)
Piece n°2 (smallest knot) => 1 time (leather 2)
Piece n°3 (knot loop) => 1 time (leather 2)
Piece n°4 (fabric choker) => 1 time
The pencil can be erased on most leathers with a simple eraser (do not use on vegetable tanned leather). We advise you to do a test beforehand to validate the erasable function on your leather. 
2. REINFORCE THE BOW OF THE KNOT WITH TEAR-PROOF TAPE
Place tear-resistant tape on the crust of the leather of the knot loop (part no. 3). 
3. SEW PIECES N°2 AND 3 (FATHER AND SON)
Fold pieces n°2 (small knot) and n°3 (passing through the knot) in 2 (lengthwise) and sew the upper edge on the right side. 
4. MOVE THE SEAM TO THE CENTER
Move the seam to the center for pieces no. 2 (small knot) and no. 3 (knot loop). 
5. SEW ON THE WIDTH PIECE N°2 (SMALL KNOT)
Fold pieces no. 2 (small knot) in 2 (widthwise) and sew the upper edge (on the same side as the previous seam).
Move the seam to the middle and turn the knot over (photo no. 3). 
6. SEW THE ENDS OF THE BOW LOOP.
Sew the ends of piece no. 3 (passing through the knot) on the same side as the previous seam. 
7. SEW PIECE N°1 (LARGE BOW)
- Follow the same steps as for part no. 2 (small knot).
- Fold pieces no. 1 (large knot) in 2 (lengthwise) and sew the upper edge on the right side.
- Move the seam to the center.
- Fold pieces n°1 in 2 (widthwise) (large knot) and sew the upper edge (on the same side as the previous seam).
- Move the seam to the middle and turn the leather bow tie over (photo no. 3).
8. SEW PIECE N°4 ON THE WRONG WAY
- Fold pieces no. 4 (neck circumference) in 2 (lengthwise) and sew on the wrong side. Do not topstitch at the end to make it easier to turn the piece over.
- Turn the piece over to remove the seam.
- Place the seam in the middle.
9. SEW THE ENDS OF PIECE N°4
- At the ends: turn the fabric over on itself (photo n°1)
- Pass the sliding buckle (photo n°2)
- Fold the end of the neckband (side where the topstitching was not done) on itself (photo n°3) and sew it.
- Sew the other end.
10. MAKE THE NECK CURRENT ADJUSTABLE
- Pass the half-round ring (photo n°1)
- Then pass the end of the neckband through the sliding loop (photo n°2 and 3)
11. MAKE THE HOLES TO INSTALL THE SNAP BUTTONS AND INSTALL THEM
Make the holes for the snap buttons (4mm for the head and 2mm for the foot) on the neck loops and the bow loops.
