DIY Dog Bow Tie Tutorial

If you have a dapper little doggie (or cat) like we do you NEED these easy DIY dog bow ties in your life. The ones I am teaching you today are especially cute because they are made from the material of old neckties! This dog bow tie DIY tutorial is special because we use vintage neckties for pet bow ties! Add some vintage style to your pooch's wardrobe with this easy bowtie tutorial! #dapperdog #dogbowtie #catbowtie #animalclothes #petaccessories #dogcollardiy #diypetaccessory

Using vintage neckties is a favorite twist I like to add to my DIY arsenal. The vintage fabrics are so fun, loud and often not going to be used “as is” ever again! I gather neckties from garage sales and thrift stores for $1 or less and the more outdated the fabric the better.

Oliver and I are just old souls.  BTW – here are a few other necktie projects for you to try: jewelry | wreath | artHow to make old neckties into precious jewelry. This no sew necktie craft will recycle those out of style thrift store neckties into a cute tassel necklace on a serious budget. #diyjewelry #upcycleidea #vintagestyle #necktieaccessory #fashiononabudget

How to make a Dog Bow Tie:

  1. Start by deconstructing your necktie and ironing the fabric flat.This dog bow tie DIY tutorial is special because we use vintage neckties for pet bow ties!

  2. Cut out a rectangle. I made mine 8″ X 4″ because Oliver is a small dog, you might want to increase or decrease the size based on your pet.  
  3. Fold the fabric in half longways, right sides facing on another. This dog bow tie DIY tutorial is special because we use vintage neckties for pet bow ties!

    This is great! I take portraits at my animal shelter and I’m always looking for inexpensive ways to add to the accessories collection for the animals. Thanks so much!
