Materials: Necktie, button, scissors, needle and thread.

I have a stash of ties {thanks to my Dad} waiting to be repurposed. This cuff bracelet is tons of fun. You can see the tutorial I read here. I made mine a little differently so I will share the super easy steps to making your own Necktie Cuff Bracelet.

Step one: Wrap the necktie around your wrist to measure length and cut. I cut mine about an inch past where my button was going to go.

Step two: Turn over and wrap around your wrist so that the inside is facing out. Position your button where you want to see it on the cuff and trace a circle around it.

Step three. Cut a button hole in your tie for your button. I decided to cut a button hole instead of using snaps. {I also skipped using a piece of plastic to make it more sturdy as suggested in the tutorial, but it doesn’t really seem to need it}

Step four: Sew on your button.

Step five: Wear.

{I might go back and hem the inside edge later, but since you can’t see it and I’ll be wearing it not giving it away I figured I could skip hemming it}

The finished project:

What will you make with a necktie?
