Default Sherlock Holmes Hat

I foolishly undid the bow on top and now cannot retie a flat bow. Can anyone tell me how to do this, please?

Put it on so you get the fitting just right. Adjust the straps to the right length. Make double sure it has no slack but is not over tight and then use a staple gun to secure it. ( if this isnt enough a four inch nail should do it nicely).

make sure you have a band aid handy.

I sold my deer stalker a few years ago, but I wish I'd had it last winter.

As Pom said (or something similar) pin or stitch the shape of the bow together. I think a 4in, nail would give you a bit of a headache.
