Grandpa’s Ties

Sometimes I have a great idea....and then it doesn't turn out so good.

Case in point:  Embellished shirt with grandpa's old tie.



I pinned it a whole bunch of ways, but ultimately hung the boring shirt back in my closet and put the tie away in a "someday" pile in the basement.

This is actually a "necklace" made out of a tie, and it looks super cute (on her).   I'm not sure I could pull it off, to tell the truth.  

I asked for all of Grandpa's ties when I saw this necklace from etsy shop, Podged.   I wish I could figure out how they made that pendant because it's AWESOME!  And that's a tie necklace I would actually love to wear....
