A business man cannot be imagined without a tie. Often his collection contains many such accessories. Over time, some of them cease to be liked or the model becomes outdated. But the color, texture, quality are simply excellent. Unique and expensive fabrics are often used to make ties. You won't be able to throw away such a beautiful thing. It is worth carefully considering this decoration and trying to use it in the interior or everyday life. A selection of 7 ideas for using old ties will help you look at them from a different point of view.
Case for glasses
For any glasses, even sunglasses, you will need a case. You don't have to run to the store to get it. Just look in your closet and find an unnecessary tie. To work you will need scissors, a needle, thread, and Velcro. First you need to cut off 45 cm of the bottom of the tie. Then you need to split it 8–10 cm so that the glasses can easily fit through. Then glue the spaces in the spacer with glue. Fold the piece in half so that it measures 22.5 cm in length. Sew along the edges with thread. Sew Velcro onto the tip. You will get an unusual case.
Motley lampshade
Old ties can breathe new life into a table lamp. You just need to stick them on it from top to bottom. The number of accessories used will depend on the size of the lampshade frame. The ties can be steamed, or you can simply sew them together and stick them on. In the second case, the light will flow poorly. It’s better to remove the lining anyway.
Bright cosmetic bag or handbag
One cut tie will make a small cosmetic bag. And from several accessories you can sew an original handbag. Different patterns are beautifully combined in such products: diagonal stripes, polka dots, plain shiny satin stitch.
Case for phone
It is very easy to make a gadget bag from the wide part of the tie. It is enough to simply cut off a part of the required length, sew the bag and fasten it with a button. You can sew a strap on the side for convenience.
Silk roses
Bright men's accessories are suitable for creating fabric flowers. Simply twist them and record the result. These roses are suitable for decorating clothes and shoes. You can use them to make a decorative wreath or bouquet.
Door mat
A few outdated ties are good for sewing a colorful rug or decorating an ottoman. The product can be round or rectangular. Covers for stools are sewn in a similar way.
Decorative pillowcases
If you rip several ties apart and smooth them out, you will get a beautiful pillow. The material needs to be cut into squares, sewn together and assembled into an original pillowcase. In addition to squares, stripes are also suitable.
Such crafts are very easy to make, but can serve as a great gift. Patient needlewomen even manage to make a blanket or bedspread from such small scraps. In this matter, the main thing is imagination and desire.
