How To Re-Tie Your Little Man Tie

In four simple (?) steps!

Step 1 - iron (sorry, but it's so much easier if everything is ironed nicely first :).   Make sure your neckband has one velcro side up and one down.  Lay your tie in the middle, looped as shown (make sure the seams are BOTH pointing down as shown).  Make sure the wider end is on top.

Step 2 - Flip the two ends of the tie UNDER the neckband and through the loop.  In this case you should end up seeing  both the seamed ends on top.  Again, make sure you have one end of velcro up and one down.
 Step 3 - Flip the tie over.  You'll notice the velcro that was up is now down, and your tie is starting to take shape. 
 Step 4 - Holding onto the neckband with one hand (as shown), gently tug on the bottom pieces of the tie to form a nice knot.  Again make sure you have one velcro end up and one down (otherwise you'll have a twist in your neckband when you go to put it on your little man).  This is the trickiest part, mostly because it can be a little hit and miss with getting your tie the size you want. 
 You're DONE!  You might need to practice a couple of times but once you get the hang of it it's awesome. We've tried NUMEROUS methods and this is by far the most simple and gives the most consistent results.  I can't tie a man's tie to save my life, but this I can now do in my sleep. 
PLEASE let us know if you need some more clarification!  It really is easy to do once you practice a little bit.  This will also help to extend the life of your little man tie by letting you re-tie it to gain a couple inches before you need to move up to the next size.

Okay...  Here's how it going to work.  :)

DRESSES:

TIES:
From now until midnight, March 20th ALL ties are $13 SHIPPED!  This includes all the options that we have posted on www.playfulpeanut.com PLUS any special orders.  If you are ordering a dress for your daughter and want a tie that matches, let us know and we'll do our very best to get it for you.  If you are wanting a tie for Easter, PLEASE state that in your order.  Most of the ties should be on hand, but if you would like fabric special ordered it may not work with an Easter deadline.

RUFFLE SHIRTS:
From now until midnight, March 20th, we're accepting ruffle shirt orders for $40 SHIPPED!  Again, let us know what fabrics you like and we'll do our best to create a special shirt specifically for your daughter.  Since we're special ordering fabric for this, again please note that our production times will be considerably longer than usual. 

Now, for a refresher...
The SCARLETT dress.  Available in sizes 12 mos through size 8.

The MACY dress.  Available in sizes 12 mos through size 8.

The GABBI dress.  We haven't really launched these yet, but now's as good a time as any!  This dress is essentially the same as the MACY dress, only it's a short-sleeved version.  Available in sizes 12 mos to size 8. 

The LITTLE MAN TIE.  Available in sizes 12 mos, 12-24 mos, and 2-5T

And the RUFFLE SHIRT.  Available in sizes 24 mos to size 8. 

So, you in? 

TO ORDER: Drop us an email at yourplayfulpeanut@gmail.com.  I know we're trying to get away from email orders as we often lose emails to the SPAM folder but I think this is going to be the only way to do this since we're taking special orders at special prices here.  Let us know what you'd like, or do some brainstorming with us.  IF you happen to drop us an email and you don't hear back within a day, please follow up to make sure it hasn't gone AWOL. 

THE FINE PRINT:
*Please note that since we are running a special shipping promotion in with this that we CANNOT extend the free shipping offer to other purchases or orders on either www.playfulpeanut.com or www.playfulpeanut.etsy.com. 
*Please note that all purchases must be PRE-PAID by midnight, March 20th, as these are a special order, and are non-refundable.
