Bolo tie tips available in a variety of styles and sizes for you. A bolo just doesn't look finished without handsome tips on the ends of each tie. Bolo tie tips serve the purpose of weighting your cord while it dresses up your wardrobe.
Making a bolo tie (cowboy or western tie) is much easier than you would think. All you need is a cord, a slide clasp, and bolo tie tips.
Your slide is the focal point of your western tie and can be anything you want. If you have a favorite piece of stone, coin, old cuff link, medallion, belt buckle or other piece of jewelry you can attach it to a bolo tie slide blank for your own personalized cowboy tie. However, if you prefer, there are lots of ready made, already decorated slides that you can purchase to make your custom bolo tie with.
Your bolo tie tips are the secondary focal point and you will want to choose a set that best fits your western tie in both style and needs. If your cord is light weight and tends to have kinks in it then you might want a heavier bolo tie tip to keep it hanging straight. If you use a leather bolo cord then weight is not usually as much of a factor. Pay attention to the size of hole on the tips that you are considering, to be sure that your cord will fit into the hole. Some heavier tips may have threads inside the hole while others are smooth inside. Even with a threaded hole you should use a strong glue (like E-6000) to hold your tips into place.
