CRAFTY DAY 17 - TIE BELT


I have been getting into the tie crafting thing lately and will share a quick and easy one with you all here today.

MATERIALS

Mens tie
Buckle
Scissors
Needle and thread






Measure your waist and add 12 inchs. Starting from the widest end of your tie measure off and cut to size at the narrow end.  Wrap cut end of tie around the centre bar of your buckle, making sure the right side of fabric is facing the front.  Sew with a few stitches to secure.  It will also pay to secure the centre back seam of the tie with stitching as well, as this is usually only held together with a loose tack stitch. Just make sure you are not sstitching through to the front of the tie.  And that is it you are done and now have a one of a kind fashion accesory that will look great in any wardrobe.  Make a whole bunch to give to friends, experiment with this basic design by adding buttons etc.
