Don't throw away those old ties....



It's time for the "Do It Over Designers" blog hop, hosted by 



This is an easy upcycling craft, a wreath that can be made in less than 30 minutes!




I purchased an 8" styrofoam wreath at Hobby Lobby and cut apart 8 ties:


I simply wrapped each tie around the wreath and hot glued it in place:



This is how it looked on the backside:


To finish off the back, I hot glued the narrow side of the tie around the wreath to hide any bulges and make it lay flat:


This size wreath took only 8 ties:


I am sharing this recycling craft with the 
"Do It Over Designers"

    Your tie wreath is so cool, Patti! What a fun idea! I hope you didn't cut up your hubby's ties to make this, though!

    I love this idea, Patti and old ties show up at thrift stores and yard sales all the time! Great way to use them.

    I wish we had saved some of my father's ties! I would have loved to do this as a keepsake. Great idea Patti.

    I'm thinking of all the ties given to Good Will and how they could have been turned into a pretty wreath. This is a wonderful idea for a unique wreath. Great job!

    Wonderful looking tie wreath! I love quick and easy projects. I have ties I saved from my dad and plan to make a couple of gifts for my niece and nephew so they'll have something in remembrance of their pop pop.

    I'm regretting donating my husband's old ties. What a clever and cute idea for recycling them, Patti!

    I had to pin this. Wonderful idea for Father's Day as well, especially in memory of a father. Thanks for sharing the idea.
