My husband was about to give away a bunch of stained and old neckties, sensing a creative project I snagged them before they were donated.

I turned the old ties into these DIY Necktie Zip Pouches. A very very simple sewing project that would make great DIY gifts for your favorite guy!

I even reused the tag from the back of the tie, a fun little touch especially if the ties are sentimental.

Step One: Pick the Tie Apart Begin by carefully pulling the stitches out of the back of the necktie. Most ties are basted together and the stitches should come out easily.

[{"selector":"#anim-2133b7f1-5eaa-4b56-bd9e-3f6e75dbc9d2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ce255def-97a5-4d23-af20-0b3fa4697708","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c540ceaa-a323-496a-a565-6c12fc4718c1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5c0a829f-f02a-4906-8dc2-4c28454f2428","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b632a75-7367-498a-bf45-55f782f5ec47","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.59459%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Next remove all of the interfacing and press the fabric from the front of the tie well. You’ll need some steam to get it to lay flat again.
