These pins are made from the small tail of men's ties. I am sorry, but I can't remember the blog where I got the directions!

Your giving me ideas as we found two hangers full of ties when we moved. Thought of the wide end making a coin purse and have seen a skirt, pillow, and quilt out of them. Also, saw a piece of tie wrapped around a hard boiled egg and dipped in maybe vinegar and if all silk it left a neat pattern on the egg.

Excellent. I wish I'd seen this just after I made a dress skirt out of the opposite ends of about 30 ties. I threw the narrow ends away! Tragic.

I rarely throw anything away..that's not to say I know WHERE it is, however!! :-)
You are not alone - I am always hunting for things that I KNOW I have put somewhere ??

Your pins are very pretty and really unique. I've never seen anything like them before. I just goggled pins made from men's ties and I found a bunch of sites that have all sorts of things that you could do with with ties. A couple of them even show how to make the pins. Linda

That's it! That's where I saw it. Tks for posting & giving them the credit!! I did use vintage buttons for the centers instead of the covered buttons as I didn't have any covered buttons large enough.
Thanks so much for the link.

Those are to cute. Years ago my daughter read a book and the girl in book made a skirt out of neckties. She always wanted me to try that. I like your pins much better.

Had to share a photo of the tie purse that I made a few years ago. I read a tutorial on how to do it but then I made my own pattern. The gusset and handle takes 4 ties. On the front and back I used both ends of the tie by alternating them. I have used this purse very much.

I used a total of 10 ties, all purchased at a thrift store for 50 cents apiece.

Well - and maybe I can think of something to do with the shopping bag full of ties that my daughter picked up at the thrift store for me. I started tearing them apart, for I say Nancy Zieman do a purse with the ties, and used the material from the tie as the bias binding. LOL But, too much work to take them all apart.
