GIFT WRAP #18: NECK TIE WRAPPING

Gift Wrap for Dad
Why is Father’s Day synonymous with neck ties? I know that my husband, Staffan, would much prefer to be neck-tie free on his day. This notion had me thinking. Let’s loosen the Windsor knot on this traditional Dad item.

Do you have an old neck tie around? Re-purpose it and use it for this wrap.  Even a strip of an old pinstripe shirt, could shine and make this package for Dad personal.

Once you’ve snipped the tie to size and finished the end, it can be used a a belt or hair band.
