Instructions
Cut ribbon that is about 1-inch wide to 1 1/2-inches wide to about 2-inches to 2 1/2-inches long, depending on the size of your Maltese. Fold the ribbon in half and use a pen to mark a center line on the back of the ribbon.
Place a thin strip of white glue down the center line you have created on the back of the ribbon. Use your finger and thumb to press the center together, which forms the basis of your bow tie. Keep your finger and thumb on the center mark and use your other hand to make folds in the fabric on either end of the ribbon.
Place a dab of hot glue on a proportionate button, round faux jewel or other embellishment. Place the embellishment on the front center of your bow, and reinforce the bow's center with a dab on hot glue on the back center of the ribbon. Allow it to dry for about 20 minutes.
Use hot glue to attach a snap clip to the back of the bow. Allow it to dry for about 10 minutes, then place the clip on your Maltese.
