My Grandma works in a charity shop and has been saving up neck ties for me to make a dress. I finally have enough, so I decided to turn the spare ones in a wreath for our door. I also made a second one for her to say thank you.
1
Gather together your neck ties and wreath hoop. You'll need about 12 ties to make this though you may want a few more just to be safe.
2
Loop your first tie around the hoop and pin in place. Trim off the excess tie at the back.
3
Work your way around, picking patterns that look nice together.
4
Keep going until you've covered the entire wreath.
5
Carefully sew around the hoop, stitching the ties in place.
6
Flip the wreath over and cut off any excess tie.
7
Embellish by making a bow out of wired ribbon and stitch at the top of your wreath.
8
Hang on your door and admire. Well done!
