Justin and George Make Mr Tumble's Bow Tie

Justin and George are excited to watch Mr Tumble and friends in Something Special and want to make a bow tie just like Mr Tumble's Bow Tie.

You will need
  • Coloured paper
  • Pens or pencils
  • Sticky tape or glue stick

How to make a paper bow tie

  • Draw spots on a piece of paper

  • Fold the paper accordion-style (like a fan). Make each fold about 1cm wide. Continue folding until the entire paper is folded.

  • Once you have your accordion-folded paper, pinch the middle and secure it with a small piece of sticky tape or glue.

  • Cut a small strip of paper and make a loop and secure with sticky tape or glue.

  • Then push the loop over the paper.

  • Now you can fan out the bow tie and it will look fantastic, just like George and Justin's.
