Bow Tie Set, 1 Set, Nickel

I was surprised how easy the hardware snaps together—took me maybe ten minutes to get the hang of it. The nickel pieces have a nice weight to them that makes the finished bow tie feel sturdy, not flimsy.

I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the three hardware pieces slid together—no pinching or sticking like cheaper sets I've tried. The ability to use my own fabric or fold-over elastic makes it incredibly versatile for custom projects.

The nickel finish on the hardware is nice and should hold up well, though the clip is a little stiff to open at first. Worked perfectly for the scrap fabric I had on hand to make a matching bow tie for my son.
