Upcycling ties really isn’t the most unique thing… It’s a pretty obvious choice, as they come in such brilliant, luxurious fabrics. Also, fabric necklaces aren’t that unique and they have popped up everywhere… anyway, here is my combination of the two. I love how you use the narrow end of the tie, which often gets left-over after using the wider part for projects. And believe me, these are made in no time at all, which means you actually get to keep some for yourself :-) For the full tutorial, please visit my blog Of Dreams and Seams
