Lay the 2 Main Panels on top of each other, wrong sides together.

You should have a decent size gap in the center of the top edge.
Pull out a large loop so to not loose any stitches and remove your hook. (or use a stitch holder if you have one)
Fill the pillow up with polyfibre fill, using your hand to evenly distribute the filling. Reinsert your hook and tighten the loop around it. Continue to join the panels together with a single crochet stitch to close the gap. Joining to the first Sc stitch with a SlSt and tie off. Weave in ends.
Take 2 lengths of yarn approx. 3m each and thread onto your yarn needle. Wrap the yarn around either side of the center of the pillow to create a bow shape as shown. Thread the yarn through the side seams to keep them in place.
Take your middle tie and lay it over the middle section of the pillow.
Wrap around the pillow so the ends meet at the center back of your pillow. Slip Stitch the edges together. (Or sew together with your yarn needle if preferred.)
