Clever way to recycle those old neckties

Clever way to recycle those old neckties

Have you seen those fabulous skirts made with old ties? I love them, but I’m just not a skirt-wearer. I’ve also seen tablecloths made with old ties that look fantastic – on a round dining table (I have a square one, of course).

BRENDA FLYNN/SPECIAL TO THE STAR-BANNER

This "snake" is a fun and clever way to recycle old neckties.

So, when I saw this clever craft using an old men’s necktie, I couldn’t resist. It can be a fun toy for a child’s room, or if you lean toward making "useful" crafts, then stuff it with rice or barley instead of poly-fil and use it as a draft preventer along a door jamb. Either way, making this craft is truly fun and easy.

Necktie Snake

What You Need:

• Men’s necktie (one or more)

• Sewing thread, buttons and felt

• Hot glue

• Poly-fil (or for a draft preventer, a bag of rice or barley)

• Five-foot length of baling wire (or similar bendable wire)

Step one: Take the poly-fil and start stuffing the tie, working from both ends, evenly distributing the stuffing as you go. You may need to use an old wire coat hanger to get the poly-fil to the middle of the tie.

Step two: The larger triangle-shaped end of the necktie has a flap that you need to put stuffing in as well. If you want the snake to "coil," insert the long piece of straightened baling wire (cut to fit comfortably inside the tie).

Step three: Fold the flaps of the large triangle back over and hot-glue into place. You will need to sew the flaps for added strength. Do the same with the other end.

Step four: Cut a forked tongue and eyes out of the felt and hot-glue into place. You can also use plastic google-eyes, pom-poms or buttons for the eyes if you want.

The Essential Elements of a Good Silk Tie

ejinfatie — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:57:41 CST

(Collected and Edited by Jinfa Tie).

We were asked to offer a critical review on current styles and future trends for silk neckties by Fibre2 fashion. So we got to the core.

What are the elements of a good Necktie? First of all, the proportions, blade width and length, should be 85mm to 90mm x 1540 to 1560mm long. The chosen fabric must incorporate a balance of colour pattern and texture. There is also the quality of interlining. Many consider 100% wool to be best; however, it reacts greatly with atmospheric changes absorbing moisture and can buckle your tie.

According to seasoned tie makers wool blends are the best, they also recommend taffeta tipping instead of silk because it adds weight to the end of ties so it will hang better.

What are the trends that are currently in vogue in neckties? The current trends vary from brand to brand. There is a strong generic flavour inherent in most mainline brands; stripes are the strongest and most popular, then there are polka dots, some paisley and interesting geometric shapes, the colours, still blues and reds for conservatism.

There’re very few floral’s on the market, they too are generic, which sums up the current state of the market, everything is pretty much the same. There is a large niche to filled and customers wanting to buy, but few retailers are willing to take the gamble of being truly different.

Where do you see the market for neckties in the next 5 years? Women’s fashion always has strong influences on men’s fashion, only it is watered down to masculine acceptance. Spring summer 2009 is going to be alive with floral’s for men and women. The skinny tie has withered away and the traditional broader style is back in vogue as always.

The next five years will see men making more of their own choices of clothing style, especially accessories. The demand for luxury, bespoke, handmade silk ties is steadily growing and helping keep a long standing English weaving and manufacturing industry alive.

In keeping with Jean Patou and French designer of the 1920’s who used women’s dress fabric material for his designer silk ties and had them displayed next to women’s cosmetic sections. They were a huge hit, so we took a leaf out of his book and thought it time for a return to floral ties in the tradition of Jean Patou.

The brands to watch over the next five years are Vivienne Westwood, Timothy Everest, Victoria Richards and Patrick McMurray; they are true independent’s that set standards of style at both ends of the scale.

What are the points that one should keep in mind in choosing a neckties? Firstly, the value is in the product not the name. Depending on ones budget, feel for the weight of the tie, rub the fabric gently between your fingers and you can judge quite easily the density of silk and lining.

A well designed tie, apart from construction, should contain the right balance of colour, pattern and texture regardless of style type.

You can expect to pay about £45 and upwards for a good quality tie handmade in England, be ware of imitations and counterfeits, the internet is rife.

How much does a necktie contribute to the style quotient of a person? A silk necktie is the epitome of male self expression; it reflects his mood and character and brings a collection of clothing together. In fact, rather than being classified as an accessory, it becomes a central focal point for comment.

How has public attitude towards neckties changed in the last decade? In the fashion industry attitudes are changing all the time, concurrent with fashion itself, there was the dress down era, now we are returning to the dress up and dandy era, so as styles change so do attitudes.

Inside the Necktie Capital of the World

Nearly half the world's ties are made in a small chinese city.Do you kown which city it is? Yes！It is ShengZhou ,China necktie city .It may not look like a fashion powerhouse, but the small city of Shengzhou is the necktie capital of the world. It is a phenomenon of clusters of enterprises. Nearly half the world's ties, even popular American brands, are made there. There are a lot of necktie manufacturers. Jinfa necktie manufacturer is one of them.

Julie Yuan is the first lady of neckties. Her company, Maidilang, sells $40 million in ties every year to Asia, Europe and America. Yuan was once a farmer, but now she is a multimillionaire at age 38.

"We started out from nothing," Yuan said. "Now we have so many foreign clients coming here from all over the world."

Shengzhou undercuts the international competition by making quality ties on the cheap. Factory workers are well-trained and experienced, but paid just 75 cents an hour, compared with more than $10 an hour in the United States and Italy.

Another secret is government help, such as free land and cheap loans, but they say their biggest advantage is that they make one thing very well.

"All of the people in the tie business are enthusiastic and devoted to it," said Liu Xiaoping of China's Professional Tie Commision. "Actually, everyone here is an expert."

From Sock Town to Underwear City

It is a formula applied across the country. There is Sock Town, which makes 8 billion pairs a year, a cigarette lighter capital and even Underwear City.

So why are ties made in Shengzhou? It is part accident -- starting with one foreign contract 23 years ago -- and part history.

The city of Shengzhou has been producing silk for hundreds of years and sending it to countries such as Italy to be made into ties and scarves. But now, Shengzhou manufactures both the silk and the ties, and gets even more of the profits.

Interestingly, most people in Necktie City don't wear neckties. Xiaoping said they are too busy making them.

Ways to Wear a Scarf to Accentuate Your Look

In women's fashion, there is one accessory that is often completely overlooked, yet can offer endless possibilities for enhancing the look of your wardrobe. That accessory, of course, is the scarf. Scarves have been a part of women's fashion for millennia, with representations of fringed rectangles of fabric found in Chinese sculpture dating as far back as 1000 b. c.
      In the last half-century, scarf-wear has evoked an air of Hollywood-style glamour, and sophisticated elegance. Just picture such icons as Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly arriving for lunch at the Brown Derby, their beauty barely disguised by silk scarves and sunglasses, looking amazingly glamorous.

Scarf Styles:
      Throughout history, scarves have been made from a variety of fabrics
- from heavy wool knits to fine silk weaves, patterned or plain - each style appropriate to its setting or the fashion of the period. Today, fashion scarves are commonly made from silk, rayon or acetate, which offer a light weight, fluid movement, strength, and a shimmering finish. Other common fabrics for scarves are cotton and wool, which make for a slightly heavier scarf, with structure and often textured finishes.
      Scarves come in many sizes and shapes, and many are designed for specific uses. There are bandanas and kerchiefs which are smaller in size (usually 14-16 inches [35-40 cm] on a side), to large shawl-like scarves (which can be up to 48 inches [120 cm] on a side). There are square scarves, rectangular (or oblong) scarves, and triangular scarves. Some scarves have hemmed edges, fringed edges, and fused edges. They can be batik dyed, tie-dyed, silk-screened, have woven patterns, or solid colors. In short, the possibilities are endless.

Wearing Scarves:
      Scarves can be worn in a variety of ways: as head coverings, shawls, accent pieces, belts, and even as garments. They are truly versatile and can add flair to a style, or be used as a subtle accent. They can be tied, pinned with a piece of jewelry, or secured with specially designed accents. Below are some examples of ways to wear scarves to accentuate your look, the shape of scarf you will need and how to secure them.

Scarves as Headwear
      Covering the head is one of the traditional purposes for which scarves have been used. Some cultures' mores insist that women wear scarves to cover their head as a matter of propriety, and in areas of the world where the climate is cold, women use scarves to protect their heads against the elements. Our concern here, however, is the use of scarves in fashion.
      The scarf is still used to protect the head/hairstyle, but it is just as important to look good in the process. Scarves have also gained popularity (because of their functionality) among female cancer patients who have experienced hair-loss as a result of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments. The following methods of wearing scarves will serve you well, regardless of your motive for wearing them:

Scarves as Garments
      Apart from their use as headwear, scarves can be extremely versatile and can be used as apparel in other ways. Learning the following techniques can enable you to make the most of your wardrobe by adding an additional measure of versatility. You can add a couple of scarves to your suitcase when traveling and be prepared to create additional looks from your existing selection of clothes. Their compact nature also means that you can add new looks without needing additional luggage to accommodate them.
      The following scarf-tying techniques will allow you to fully realize the versatility of your wardrobe:

      Skirt Wrap
      Halter / Blouse

Scarves as Accessories
      The most prominent use for scarves is as a fashion accessory. A bold, beautiful scarf can add a splash of color to an otherwise severe-looking or
plain garment, and can add a touch of softness and femininity to a suit. The variety of shapes, colors, patterns and fabrics mean that scarves are imminently versatile, and a style can be found to compliment any outfit.
      The following scarf-tying techniques will allow you to make the most of your scarves, regardless of the look you are trying to achieve:

      The Long Tie
      The Neck Wrap
      Bandana Wrap
      Ascot Wrap
      Two-Shoulder Wrap
      Side-Knotted Belt
      Scarf as Traditional Belt

Scarves with Pins:
      As we've seen, scarves can be knotted and worn in many different ways. But what about those times when you just want to have a scarf to add a splash of color or a little flair to an outfit? One of the great things about scarves are their versatility, and the way they can be combined with other accessories to change the look and feel of an outfit. Below are a few ideas for doing this:

      Over the Shoulder, with Jewelry Pin
      Shawl Style, with Jewelry Pin
      Cowl Style, with Jewelry Pin

      Scarves can add a tremendous amount of variety to an otherwise simple wardrobe. The sheer number of styles, fabrics, colors and patterns available with scarves make them an excellent accessory to add to your wardrobe. You can find scarves that are suited to virtually any style of dress. From scarves made with thick rough-spun wool and silk yarns, to fine, satiny silks and rayon fabrics you can make any look that much more special by adding the right kind of scarf.
