DIY: Turn old Neck Ties into a bag


Have some old ties that should have died in the 80's? I have a ton sitting in by closet gathering dust. If you have sewing skills, Craftbits has some detailed instuctions on turning those Paisleys into a bag that can easily be used for school, diapers, etc.

What you will need:

  • You'll need a bunch of ties. Mine are all paisleys.
  • A lot of lining fabric - mine is black velveteen.
  • One 18mm magnetic snap
  • Heavyweight stabilizer
  • Large graph paper (or newspaper) for pattern
  • Basic sewing supplies

If you are into crafts or scrapbooking, plan on spending some time on Craftbits. There are easily 50+ user-submitted tutorials. It's a pretty cool site.
