i love the fabric and whimsy of men's neckties -- but as they seem to be falling out of the fashion world -- one sees them by the hundreds in the outlets and thrift stores -- hated to see them just going to the landfills -- so came up with how i could use them in my house to decorate the furniture -- hope you like them as much as i do -- they have really added color and and some class to the house

Love it, back in the seventies I had friend that made skirts with vintage ties.
These are really lovely. How long does it take? Do you fuss with placement forever?
