Shirt CaseThis shirt case is perfect for a handkerchief or necktie. Write a message on a small label or card and place inside the case.

Approximate Time: 15 minutes

Supplies:

  • 8 1/2x11 inch lightweight cardstock
  • patterned paper
  • glue
  • pencil
  • ruler
  • craft knife
  • scissors
  • finished size: 4x10 3/8 inches

Instructions:

Make a pocket from lightweight cardstock.

Snip the upper edge of pocket at the front center, 1 inch long. Then fold to make a collar.

Using a pencil, draw a necktie shape from patterned paper. Cut it out. For added dimension, trace the top part of the necktie; trim and glue on top of that.

Hi Maricel,
This is a simple, yet very attractive project that could be adapted for other family members and occasions.
Thanks for sharing.
