Press that tie then your good to go!
You have options on how to attach the tie to your child or build-a-bear.
I opted for sewing fabric to make a ribbon and having my nephew's neck size and sewing on snap connectors for him. The fabric can be placed between the tie and the top, hidden under the top so it is not seen. When he grows and wants to keep using the tie, just replace the ribbon size diameter.
You can do the same thing with Velcro, buttons, and numerous options for connecting.
On the flip side, you can also sew on a clip to the back to make it a chip-on tie!
