An innovative use for old ties

I saw this idea on our village Facebook site. It’s an apron made from old ties. Someone made it from her father’s ties after he passed away and I thought it was a really good idea. I love the shape too.
Who would have thought you could make something so nice from old ties? Do you have bright ideas for old ties? I use old socks to dust ornaments. I pull one on my hand and dust off all my bits and pieces – ornaments, that is.

Did the "Ex" figured this out about his T Shirts??

@JudyEv @rebelann1949 Both my exes stole some of my shirts when we divorced and wore them when they came around for whatever reason. (My first ex told me she just couldn't sleep without me. I asked her how did she manage the first 37 years of her life. She told me I wasn't funny... I was still laughing when she said it, though.) Apparently, she curls up wearing my shirts to bed.

That would be an innovative way to use ties for sure.

@JudyEv I guess, might make me sad though.

@JudyEv I've never owned a tie in my life. And no, the "No comment." was directed at you dusting all your bits and pieces.

@DaddyEvil Oh yeah - I forgot about that bit. Sometimes I put these things in wondering if someone will pick up on them. 
I'm a bit sneaky sometimes.

I have a couple of Ties and may be something I can try in the future. If some people have a lot of old ties, this can be a nice idea.
Of course, one must not get someone's active Tie for such a purpose !!

Yes I was just kind of saying this in fun. But I have some very old ties somewhere in some bag, so I can try some day.

I saw a wonderful wall hanging made from ties. They had belonged to a man who had passed away and his widow had used them to make something that must have been a real memory stirrer every time she looked at it. It is sad to throw away ties, they are so well made and so colourful.

It would be nice to have something like a wall hanging or apron made in this way.

That is a very clever idea. I like colors.

Most things can have a second purpose, can't they?

That is a great use of old ties. I don't know anyone that still wears aprons, but if I did, I would try to make them one of those aprons.

My husband uses an apron when he cooks as he usually spills something on himself. He is always wiping his hands on it too.
