DIY Bow Blouse

Repurpose an old fabric belt for a new look!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-bow-blouse • Posted by Hannah C.

I'd had my eye on preppy-chic bow blouses for awhile, and then it struck me—I could easily make my own with a fabric tie stolen from an old dress! Although I used a black-and-white top for this look, the combination would work just as well with any color blouse. I can't wait to try it with my pale pink button down! You could also use a length of black or satin grosgrain ribbon to create the tie (just don't forget to seal the ends if you opt for satin ribbon).
