A business man cannot be imagined without a tie. Often his collection contains many such accessories. Over time, some of them cease to be liked or the model becomes outdated. But the color, texture, quality are simply excellent. Unique and expensive fabrics are often used to make ties. You won't be able to throw away such a beautiful thing. It is worth carefully considering this decoration and trying to use it in the interior or everyday life. A selection of 7 ideas for using old ties will help you look at them from a different point of view.
Case for glasses
For any glasses, even sunglasses, you will need a case. You don't have to run to the store to get it. Just look in your closet and find an unnecessary tie. To work you will need scissors, a needle, thread, and Velcro. First you need to cut off 45 cm of the bottom of the tie. Then you need to split it 8–10 cm so that the glasses can easily fit through. Then glue the spaces in the spacer with glue. Fold the piece in half so that it measures 22.5 cm in length. Sew along the edges with thread. Sew Velcro onto the tip. You will get an unusual case.
Step-by-step instruction
Carefully lay the pattern out on the ironed fabric. Make sure that there are no wrinkles on it.
If you choose a material with a pattern for sewing, imagine what the finished product will look like. Adjust the placement of the pattern so that the drawing ends up looking just right.
Press the pattern onto the fabric and carefully trace the outline. If the fabric is smooth and the paper slides on it, pin the pattern. Instead of chalk, you can use a small piece of soap.Using tailor's scissors, cut the fabric, leaving 1 cm from the outline as a seam allowance. Do the same with the interlining fabric. Only seam allowances will no longer be needed.
Secure the interlining fabric to the main fabric. If the material is self-adhesive, do it with an iron; if not, baste it.

Assess the condition of the sides of the product. If all the previous stages of work were carried out correctly, then they should form a straight line. Sew and iron the product, trim off any protruding corners, if any.
Attach a piece of lining fabric along the bottom edge and sides. Leave the top edge open. The resulting pocket will serve as a place for the narrow tip of the tie.
Secure the center seam allowances with blind stitches.
Iron the finished product thoroughly.
Pattern
You probably know what size bag will be most comfortable for you. It all depends on your taste and the availability of a certain number of ties. If you have a lot of them, you can safely sew yourself a wonderful shopping or beach bag. With less quantity, you can make a small, stylish bag to hold your essentials.
Prepare a sheet of paper (a sheet of tracing paper would be a great solution). Take the necessary measurements and transfer them to paper. The shape can be rectangular (with vertical or horizontal length) or square. In order to make the edges semicircular, attach an ordinary cup or other round object to them.
Decorative pillowcases
If you rip several ties apart and smooth them out, you will get a beautiful pillow. The material needs to be cut into squares, sewn together and assembled into an original pillowcase. In addition to squares, stripes are also suitable.
Such crafts are very easy to make, but can serve as a great gift. Patient needlewomen even manage to make a blanket or bedspread from such small scraps. In this matter, the main thing is imagination and desire.
