Method of making a bowtie

Abstract

Methods of making crisp clip-on bowties that are composed of multiple layers are disclosed. The first and second layer are made in a similar manner by using an interfacing having at least horizontal and vertical fold lines and two boxes is secured to a first bowtie material. The boxes identified on the interfacing are layered with additional material, the layer is folded along the horizontal and vertical lines. A bowtie clip is secured to the clean side of the second layer. The two layers are then folded inward toward the center around the clip and then the edges of the horizontal folds are folded back and secured. A cover is placed around the center.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for making a bowtie comprising:
 marking an interfacing with at least two horizontal folding lines, and two vertical folding lines and defining two boxes thereupon, where two sides of each box are defined by the horizontal folding lines, a third side of each box is defined by a vertical folding line and the final side of the box defining a box with a width of about ¾ inch;   securing the marked interfacing to a first bowtie material;   adding three layers of additional material to each of the two boxes marked on the interfacing, the added material fitting exactly in the box and adhered to both the interfacing and each other;   folding the material and interfacing combination inward toward the interfacing side on each horizontal folding line and securing with adhesive;   folding the material and interfacing combination toward the center along each vertical folding line and securing with adhesive so that a first bowtie layer is formed;   repeating the step of making an interfacing, securing the marked interfacing to a second bowtie material, adding three layers and folding so that a second bowtie layer is formed and each bowtie layer is defined as having an clean side and an opposite side named the folded side where the material was folded along the vertical axes meets in the center;   applying a bowtie clip to the center of the clean side of the second bowtie layer;   applying adhesive along each horizontal fold at the center of the folded side of the second bowtie layer and attaching the folded side of the first bowtie layer on top;   the first and second layers are first folded or pinched inward at the center and then the edges formed by horizontal folds are folded back;   secure the folded bowtie with a rubber band or other securing means that goes around the clip and the two layers in the pinched form at the center;   straighten the vertical folding edges so that straight edges will be formed;   place adhesive between the first and second layer where the vertical folds were formed;   adhere a covering around the center of the tie.   
     
     
         2 . A method of making a bowtie according to  claim 1  wherein the marked interfacing further comprises a center cut out defined at each edges by the outer edge of the boxes and defined horizontally but cutout lines and prior to the material of the first bowtie layer being folded, a cut out cover it adhered to the layer to cover the center cut out. 
     
     
         3 . A method of making a bowtie according to  claim 1  wherein the marked interfacing further comprises four narrow rectangular bar cutouts and prior to the material of the first bowtie layer being folded, a cut out cover it adhered to the interface side of the first bowtie layer to cover the four narrow rectangular bar cutouts. 
     
     
         4 . A method of making a bowtie according to  claim 1  wherein the marked interfacing further includes two picture cutouts and prior to the material of the first bowtie layer being folded, a cut out picture cover is adhered to the interface side of the first bowtie layer to cover the picture cutout. 
     
     
         5 . A method of making a bowtie according to  claim 1  wherein the marked interfacing further comprises any combination of a center cut out, rectangular bar cutouts and picture cutouts and prior to the material of the first bowtie layer being folded, a cut out cover or cutout picture cover is adhered to the interface side of the first bowtie layer to cover all of the cut outs.
