Crafts Using Men's Neckties

RE: Crafts Using Men's Neckties By MarieAngel (1) Contact You can also make a necktie skirt. There are several free patterns online for both adult and child skirts.

It was very unique. They use the big part of the tie and did an overcast stitch so you could see the stitching. I thought it looked pretty neat!

I also use them for belts, headbands, curtain tiebacks and leash covers (stitch some that are fairly even in width end to end and side by side forming a long tube, then stitch a small velcro tab at each end. Slip the leash through the tube and fasten the velcro to prevent the cover from slipping and voila, a fancy leash for the cost of a thrift store tie). Really ugly ones just get tied into knots for dog and cat toys. Posted on 07/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crafts Using Men's Neckties By Deeli (1578) Profile Contact Oh! I just found the link for the door wreath I was taking about on my previous post! :-) :-) :-) http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf47143724.tip.html Posted on 07/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crafts Using Men's Neckties By Deeli (1578) Profile Contact Just last year someone here at Thrifty Fun shared how she made a door wreath along with a photo but I can't locate it now :-( It was cool! Here's the only other 'how to' I could find for a tie wreath when Googling but it doesn't show pictures: http://www.ehow.com/how_5130165_make-necktie-wreath.html And here are some other archived TF craft uses for ties different from the ones listed at the bottom of the page you're now viewing: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf763070.tip.html Posted on 07/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crafts Using Men's Neckties By Dedeswrkshop (137) Profile Blog! Contact A friend of mine uses them to make throw pillow tops. She weaves them together then sews them down to a fabric block back. She used the smallest part of the tie, but it seems to me that if they were all of a size you could use the wide end, and instead of weaving, just do blocks.

  I am trying to find photos of a rug or quilt made from men's old ties. Will someone mail me a photo and an instruction book? I'm 77 and need a post retirement project.
