Before we begin, there's a few more ties gathering over on my recycled ties Pinterest board - so feel free to hop over, and make sure to let me know if you have, or have seen great tie projects to add.
Last weekend I had ties on my mind with the creation of a recycled tie dress for my Divine Little Miss M. So I thought it would be fun to put together a collection of some fabulous recycled and repurposed tie creations out there - the kinds that will have you running to your nearest thrift store to scoop up loads of ties and get busy creating. Ready?

Inspired yet? These projects were all discovered on Flickr - and I'm sure there are so many more to be found across the Web. Let me know if you've recycled or repurposed ties by leaving a comment here or on the Blue Velvet Chair Facebook page.
And before signing off, I ran across these two pics below that I thought would also be fun to share.

This guy just cracks me up. Repurposed ties back in 1988!
Do you have a specific collection that you'd like me to put together? Let me know and I'll get working on it!
Until next time...

Amazing, who knew there could be so many creative ways to re-use ties! My husband refuses to wear one ever (except at our wedding, haha!) but now I have a good reason to pick up thrifted ones all the same :)
ReplyDeleteSuki - I know..I absolutely love how creative people can be! Be prepared for a few glances as you lay out your ties in the thrift store to find the right color themes. And have fun with it!
DeleteNaaa
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of recycled tie projects?
DeleteMy daddy just passed couple month ago and I was thinking to give something significant to my mom, sister and aunts handmade with his ties, this game me a lot of hope to keep his memories alive ! THANKS

ReplyDeletewaaaa! i need to learn to sew! so many ties... so little skill....
ReplyDeleteimpressed, as always, with your finds, mike! can't wait til the next one!
Amy - I'm right there with ya! I'm crap at sewing, but great with fun experimentation. My stuff always requires an element of "I will love it no matter how it turns out" in order to succeed :-)
DeleteLove this post!
ReplyDeleteI'm OBSESSED with vintage ties! I created a tie skirt a while back and wear it all the time! http://dontmisit.blogspot.com/2011/04/tie-skirt-recycle-reuse-recreate.html
I also used 'Vintage Ties' as the theme for a supplement I did to get into college, Made a Tie Lamp Drawing and A cool collage from paint chips! http://dontmisit.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-portfolio.html
Create with ties!!! Thank you for your ideas- i've collected hundreds more- planning to make a chair, possibly a dress and definitely a bag!
xo, Margo Isadora
Thanks, Margo! I'm looking around for a pic of your tie lampshade - was there an actual one made? Or just the painting?
DeleteI love this, your blog is amazing! I am always looking for new inspiration for re-purposing old clothing. I have tried the tie skirt before but my sewing skills were ridiculous and I gave up... I'll have to drag those ties out again.
