DIY Tie Bracelets

Yes, it’s a bracelet made out of a men’s tie!! While waiting in line at the grocery store the other day I was flipping through a magazine when I came across these tie bracelets. I loved them and knew I had to have one. There’s a world of old ties out there that nobody wants, think of all the bracelets we can make?

So what do you think? Are you going to give it a try?

I knew my husband wasn’t about to let me chop his ties up so I headed to Salvation Army. The ties are only $.99! Try any thrift store (ties are always pretty cheap). I found two that I thought would work just perfectly for my bracelets.

These are such a simple project to make, even if you are not a sewer.

To start, wrap the narrow end of the tie around your wrist to get the approximate length you’ll need.

Add about 1/4 of an inch extra, and cut. Take your raw edge and with fabric glue, glue your raw edge under. Of course, you could always sew it, but I chose glue since I’m not much of a sewer. I happen to have sticky velcro on hand, which I used to put on each end of the bracelet.

Remember to make sure it’s the right size before applying your velcro for good. After the bracelet was complete I added a vintage jewel on the top for a focal point. Try a large button, buckle, or maybe a fabric flower?

I’m so excited to have such a gorgeous new bracelet for only 99 cents! What a deal!!

There are such a variety of colored and patterned ties out there. You could literally make one to match every outfit!! Think of all the ties we can give a new life. They’d also make a great unique gift!! Make a few for yourself and a few for gifts. I’m sure any girl would love one!! Have fun!!
