Make Curtain Tie Backs with Old NECKTIES...
When I no longer needed ties for work (thank you relaxed dress code) I decided to dress up my curtains instead. It's the perfect project to add a little more character to curtains and with Father's Day just around the corner this is a great twist on the traditional gift tie.
