Iron the folds again and then fold your piece in half. By now it should look like this.
A: Cut a small piece of fabric from the one you haven’t used yet. It should be about 9 cm / 3.5” wide and 12 cm / 4.7” long. B: Fold it in half and sew it on three sides, 1 cm / 0.4” away from the edges (on the red line). C: Turn it inside out and tuck in 1 cm / 0.8” of the remaining unsewn part and sew on top of it. By now your piece should be around 2.5 cm / 1” wide and 10 cm / 3.9” long.

B A: Cut another piece of fabric. It should be around 8 cm / 3.1” wide. Measure your neck all around and add another 5 cm / 2”. This should be the length of your piece. B: Fold it in half and sew it exactly like you did on the small piece. Try it out around your neck. It should not be very tight (since it will have to fit on a collar) and you should have a small piece that overlaps (around 2 cm / 0.8”). Sew some Velcro tape at the ends, exactly like you did with the small piece (on both sides).

Open the Velcro on the small piece and add it inside the long piece you just finished. Make sure it is on the back of the bow, not the front. By now, the back of your bow should look like this.
