Necktie Necklace
Find a few unusual ties. Make sure you put them against your skin, especially around your neck area. You want to make sure they are not scratchy or coarse because you might wear them against your skin or clothing.
Get out your button collection. This might be your beads or polymer clay jewelry too. Sort them into different color schemes like blues or greens or winter and summer colors.
Match your thread collection with the ties’ background color. You almost want to make it look like they are floating on the tie. Or that there is some material back there, but it might be hard to see.
That is fine, you want to showcase your fabulous collection of buttons and materials on the tie.
