HOWTO made a handbag out of ties
CraftBits has a HOWTO for turning a bunch of old neckties into a handsome handbag. I love stuff made from old ties -- you need only visit your nearest charity shop to understand that the world has more neckties than it can possibly consume. We may even have more unloved and unwanted ties than we do unusuable car-tires.
