How To Make A Cuff Bracelet from a Tie
A while back, I told you about how I used one of my dad’s ties in a photo shoot. I’m always looking for ways to repurpose items. So, while I was browsing( who am I kidding- shopping at Jane.com), I saw all these cute bracelets. And I thought I bet I can make a bracelet like that out of one of my dad’s old ties. I just went through the bag my mom gave me and found this black and gray striped tie and knew this was it. I was really surprised with how easy it was to make, and I love the way it turned out, so I decided to share how I did it with you. So, keep reading to see how to make a cuff bracelet from a tie.
Materials needed:
- old tie ( I used a clip on)
- Button ( I got mine using a coupon at Joann’s)
- needle and thread
- Velcro
Directions:
- Cut the smaller part with the tie off. This is the part you’ll be using for your cuff.
- On the pointed end of the tie sew on your button.
- Then sew the end of the tie. You will need to make a seam if you like your bracelet to lay flat it should look like the picture above.
- Add your velcro as the fastener. You can use hot glue or sew them on.
- And there you have it a cuff bracelet made from an old tie.
I will have to say that I love mine, and knowing that I made it from something my dad wore almost every week since it was one of his favorites makes it even more special.
That is a really cute idea! My husband has tons of old ties laying around, so this would be easy for us to make.
I would have never have thought to turn a tie into a bracelet. This is such an adorable idea! I love how it turned out. Super cute!! My husband has a bunch of ties in the closet that he never wears anymore. Thanks for the idea.
That is such a cute idea! You are extremely creative to come up with something like this. My husband has a bunch of old ties and I think this would be kind of fun gift to give at Christmas.
That is adorable. I have so many ties in this house that are never worn. I’ll have to make some of these for fun!
That is a fantastic idea! What a great way to remain connected to someone, especially after they may not be aroind anymore.
Wow that really looks so beautiful. Must say you are very creative! 🙂 We have so many silk tie at home. I think I can try this out this weekend.
Beautiful idea! My daughter and I usually make beaded bracelets, but we are starting to branch out into leather and such. I love this idea!
Wow! This is really creative. My husband has many times and there are two that may look awesome as a bracelet. Thanks for sharing Melissa.
What a creative idea. This would be a great way to feel a connection to someone that’s passed away as well as someone who’s moved away.
That’s actually a SUPER cute bracelet! I no longer have any old ties laying around but you can get these a dime a dozen at second hand shops!
What a really cute way to upcycle an old tie! I’m not very crafty/handy, but I think I can manage this one!
What a fun way to upcycle an old tie. I would love to make a cuff bracelet out of one of my Dad’s old ties as a way to remember him.
I never thought that you could make a cuff bracelet from a tie! That’s absolutely adorable and unique!
Lovely idea! The cuff bracelet turned out really pretty. Even the button you chose matched to color of the tie. I am hoping Mom was able to save some of Daddy’s old ties. I will walk over to her house tomorrow to check. Thanks for sharing this cure craft.
This is awesome! I love making my own accessories because it’s just so fun and you get something unique as well. This is a great idea and I can’t wait to give it a go. Such a good use of old ties.
How creative is that! I love this and I wish I have the knack of creating pretty stuff like this but kudos to you.
That is really cute. We have a bunch of ties from when my husband had to wear them to work. I could recycle them to make lots of bracelets for different outfits!
This is creative. I know some men get rid of their ties if they get sick of it so what a good way to upcycle some.
Oh my word, this is the cutest thing ever! I love how it turned out! Time to go thrift shopping for ties!
My dad has a million ties, I could make many of these in different colours and patterns and they would look fantastic!
