Once your little ones have finished coloring their bow ties, don't let those masterpieces go to waste! These easy, affordable crafts put their creativity to use and bring a touch of dapper charm to your home.
Cut out a neatly colored bow tie, leaving a small border. Glue it onto a piece of sturdy cardboard or an old cereal box, then trim the cardboard to match. Affix a safety pin to the back with strong glue or tape, and wear your custom bow tie proudly on a shirt, jacket, or bag.
Color and cut out several bow ties in various sizes and patterns. Punch a small hole in each side of the bow tie (where the “knot” would be). Thread a piece of yarn, ribbon, or string through the holes, alternating the bow ties with colorful beads or small paper circles to create a festive garland for parties or room decor.
Select a favorite colored bow tie and carefully cut it out. Glue it to the top of a sturdy craft stick, a wide strip of cardstock, or even a laminated popsicle stick. You can add a tassel made from yarn or embroidery floss tied through a punched hole at the bottom of the stick for an extra touch of sophistication.
Fold a piece of construction paper or cardstock in half to create a blank card. Cut out a beautifully colored bow tie and glue it to the front of the card. Add a handwritten message inside like “Wishing you a dapper day!” or “Ties of Friendship” for a truly personalized touch for any occasion.
Transform plain party hats or headbands into dapper accessories. Cut out several colored bow ties and glue them directly onto paper party hats or attach them to plain plastic headbands using hot glue (with adult supervision). Mix and match sizes and patterns for a fun, personalized look at your next gathering.
For a themed snack table, color and cut out small bow ties. Glue each bow tie onto the top of a toothpick, lollipop stick, or coffee stirrer. Use these charming picks to adorn cupcakes, cheese cubes, fruit slices, or other party treats, adding a touch of elegance to your food display.
Color and cut out multiple bow ties. Use a paper plate as the base for your mobile, decorating it if you like. Punch several holes around the edge of the plate, then tie pieces of string or yarn through the holes. Attach one or two bow ties to the end of each string, varying lengths, and hang your elegant mobile from the ceiling.
Grab a piece of construction paper or poster board and write a fun, personalized message like “Dad's Study,” “Gentleman's Corner,” or “Ready for Adventure!” Cut out one or more colored bow ties and glue them around the text to add a dapper border or flourish. Hang it on a bedroom door or wall for a unique decorative touch.
Cut out a small colored bow tie. Glue a paper ring (made from a strip of construction paper glued into a loop that fits snugly on a child's finger) to the back of the bow tie, allowing it to “stand up” on your finger. Children can then create little dapper characters and put on a puppet show with their stylish accessories.
For a durable and decorative craft, color and cut out a few bow ties. Laminate each bow tie or cover it with clear contact paper for protection. Glue the laminated bow tie onto a cork coaster blank or a square of felt. These custom coasters make great gifts or a charming addition to any coffee table.
