Looking for a fresh and affordable Father's Day gift idea? Then, give this custom tie a try.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15-30 minutes
Here's How:
- Purchase an inexpensive tie in a solid color. Thrift stores and yard sales are a great source for bargain priced ties.
- Then, place the tie on a piece of wax paper (to protect the work surface), and let your kids go to work decorating the tie with permanent markers or fabric crayons.
Tips:
- If you're handy with a sewing machine, another option is to sew your own tie.
- Pictures drawn with fabric crayons need to be heat set to become permanent. Refer to the crayon box for instructions.
- Permanent markers may bleed on some fabrics. Test on the back of the tie before working on the front.
What You Need:
- A solid colored tie (light colors work best)
- Permanent markers or fabric crayons in a variety of colors
- Wax paper
