I just finished six new necktie wristlets . . . so easy and fun! The only thing I changed from the original tutorial was to sew the decorative button on the front flap and use a snap closure rather a button/buttonhole. Now I can’t wait to give them to some special girls in the family! ♥
What a great idea. I have a huge box of neckties purchased from thrift stores to make a quilt with someday. They are in storage right now but by September I’ll be able to get to them. There are too many for just a quilt so this give me options. Thanks so much for sharing. I also have lots of buttons… in storage:(
You’ll have so much fun with your ties and buttons! Also, scroll down a bit and you can see what I did with the other parts of the ties . . . necktie ruffle pillows and necktie onesies. The fabrics are SO pretty! Can’t wait to see what you make! :)
This is so clever! I love it!
Thank you! I love how they turned out! :)
I just love these!
They are so cute and clever.
I think they would be cute in the summer with a short sleeved blouse to work.
Kind of a whimsical “business look”. :)
Cheers,
Laura
Oh . . . good idea! :)
Love these! I know a few people that would love them too!
Oh, thank you! I hope you try making one . . . maybe I’ll see it on your blog soon! :)
Yes! I may also make it into a bracelet… so using the shorter part of the tie. I think they could be really cute!
Good idea!!! You can also use the short end for a little boy’s onesie or t-shirt https://pillowsalamode.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/grandpas-tie-onesies/ . . . and the middle part for pillow ruffles https://pillowsalamode.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/necktie-ruffle-pillows/. The fabric is so fabulous that I never want to waste an inch of it! :) Good luck with your projects! :)
I LOVE your site! So glad Nikki told me about it. I will post as soon as I do them. I have to find some ties first ;)
Oh, thank you! Can’t wait to see your wristlets! :) My daughter-in-law just now texted and said she found some ties at a yard sale for 10 cents each!!! :) Have fun!
Thats great! We are going to yard sales next weekend (one of my favorite things to do!) Now I have something else to look out for.
Wow! Those are amazing!!! It is a good recycled craft! Are they easy to make?
Yes . . . very! I hope you’ll try one! :)

Thanks for stopping by! I love how your wristlets turned out! It’s neat to see everyone’s spin on things :) I’m wondering if the origami lotus bag is easy enough for me (a beginner) to sew?
I think so! The directions are really clear, except I don’t think she said when to actually flip the bag (which is right after you sew the 4-inch seams to attach the sides). Good luck and have fun! :)
