Step 1Gather your supplies, and start by folding your 8.5 x 11 inch cardstock in half.
-
Step 2Fold a 2" x 6 inch strip of double sided patterned paper into a collar shape as seen in the photo. Adhere the collar to the top center of the card front so that the top of the collar is flush with the top of the card.
-
Step 3Add two lengths of washi tape vertically along the right and left sides of the card front, about a half inch from the edges. These are the "suspenders".
-
Step 4Add a 1.5 x 5.5 inch strip of patterned paper at the bottom for the belt. Layer a 1 x 5.5 inch strip of paper over that, adding thin 3/4 inch tall strips of paper vertically for belt loops.
-
Step 5Wrap a piece of washi tape around the center of the bag of M&Ms, moving the candies to either end of the bag so you can cinch the bag and make it look like a bow tie.
-
Step 6Place a large glue dot on the back of the piece of washi tape, and then press the bow tie firmly onto the center of the collar.
-
Step 7Finish off your bow tie card by placing some enamel dots, buttons, or brads down the center of the card front to make it look like a button-down shirt. Write your message inside the card, and share it with your man!
