There’s the donation option, but what if that tie, even though ugly or a bit worn, is special to you? Maybe it was given as a gift by your 10-year-old who’s now 30. Or maybe it just sat in your closet because you never wear ties, ever.

Whatever the case, there are a few reuse options you may enjoy. Most of these links will lead you to other sites with directions for the project.

1. Frame it up as recycled tie art.

2. Make a silk tie quilt.

3. Use it as an emergency tourniquet in your first aid kit.

4. Make a funky tie lampshade!

5. Hippie tie skirt, baby.

6. Use it as a shoe shine cloth.

7. Make one-of-a-kind place mats.

8. Make a school bag (pictured from CraftBits).

9. Make a Sneaky Snake.

10. Turn the tie into a dog collar (or buy one already made – pictured from buygreen.com).

Do you have any tie creations to share?
