Do any of you refashionistas out there ever wonder what to do with the leftovers from your refashions?
Do they end up cluttering your craft room and driving you crazy?
Well I know that's true for me, but today I decided to do something about it!
For my daughter's last birthday I made her this adorable necktie skirt out of a bunch of my husband's ties that he no longer wore, plus some that I thrifted…
- Necktie Skirt
I loved the way she looked in it so much, that I decided to make her a tie skirt for Christmas (using Christmas ties…

I also made some tie pouches for Christmas presents for some of the guys on my list last year…

After making the skirts and all of the pouches, I was left with all of these leftover tie scraps that have been cluttering up my craft room since December!
- Yikes! Whatever will I do with all of these?
I decided to start decluttering my craft room from these tie scraps by making them into flower pins and necktie necklaces…
- Snazzy!
- What do you think?
Here's a closeup…
- Fancy shmancy
I love how quick and easy both of these tie projects were!

:) You're welcome!
That's cool!
I was given some of my grandpa's old jeans after he passed away, and I made a couple of denim quilts out of them. I'd love to see what you end up making the ties into when you've finished! :)

I love the tie neckline. Could go really elegant or totally funky with that.
Thanks Suzanne! It was so much fun (and so easy) to make that I want to go find some more neckties to make the wider version! :)

Great ideas! Love the necklace one!
Fantastic ideas to use your scraps! I recently started using my 100% cotton flannel scraps (leftovers from making kids' clothes) to make sanitary pads. They are working out okay so far!
