I made a wreath using old ties.
Larry even recognized some of them.
"Where did those come from?"
I saved them knowing someday
I'd use them for something!
All I needed was a box of saved ties,
a straw wreath, and straight pins.
I made this last night while watching TV.
Leave the plastic on the wreath, less mess.
You could also use a foam wreath. Just fold
the tie in half, then in half again and wrap it
around the wreath so that the ends stick out.
Stick a pin in to hold in place, slightly overlapping.
You may need to stick an extra pin here or there.
I color coordinated the ties.
A nice memento of old tie-wearing days and
past Father's Day gifts.
Hanging on the pie safe.
This morning I hung it outside on the glass front doors.
Happy Father's Day!
Cheers!

Aww, I love this idea! What a nice way to use up those silk bibs that are stained too! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteMay, I have been wanting to make this wreath for a long time. I have the ties but wasn't sure where I would put the wreath - in the closet? I didn't have space for that. But using it as a Father's Day decoration just put it in a new light for me and I will go ahead with my plans in making it for this Father's Day. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have made this but my ties keep flopping over any ideas to not make them........... maybe fold over again.
