  • 2 cuts of satin ribbon material 5 cm wide and 41 cm long;
  • hot glue gun;
  • an elastic band 1 cm wide and about a half meter long;
  • accessories on an elastic band for regulation of length - 2 pieces.

Manufacturing process:

  1. Two pieces of tape are neatly and evenly applied to each other.
  2. Fold in half across. Fingers pinch the fold.
  3. Measure 9 cm from the bent edge and fix the marked spot with a needle.
  4. To make the seam even, on the opposite side of the tape also measure 9 cm and mark the place with a needle.
  5. Floss the marked line with a thread. The thread with the needle does not need to be cut, it is fixed. With the help of one thread the whole product will be sewn.
  6. They fold the butterfly, connecting the fold line, from which they retreated, and the just-made seam. They are fixed on one and the second side in the middle with needles.
  7. The free ends of the ribbons are tucked to fit the size of the butterfly, they will slightly go one on top of the other (1 cm each). Fasten with a needle.
  8. Now the blank is stitched in the middle. Use the thread and the needle left in the tape from the first seam. Make stitches from one and the second edge of the butterfly, 1 cm long.
  9. The needles that were used to fasten the tape are removed. Tighten the thread, forming a wide crease in the middle of the butterfly.
  10. The butterfly is fixed with a needle and thread in the correct, assembled state, making several stitches from the inside. Fasten the thread and cut.
  11. For fastening, take an elastic band 1 cm wide and longer than the neck circumference by 10 cm.
  12. The edges of the gum are treated with a lighter. To adjust the length of the elastic, 2 fittings are attached to it. The edges are fixed with glue or sew.
  13. Glue a bow to the elastic band.
  14. From a piece of the same ribbon that went into the manufacture of a bow tie, they make a middle for it. To do this, you need a piece with a length of 7 cm. It is folded 3 times in width. The edges of the part are fused with a lighter.
  15. Strictly center the middle on the bow.

The finished butterfly from a satin ribbon will turn out to be 9.5 cm long.
