Necktie Gadget Case for Father's Day!

Father's Day is fast approaching, and we have a DIY project that will make a super-fun gift for Dad.  It's the Necktie Gadget Case, and you can make it out of one of Dad's old ties.  (Just be sure not to cut up a tie he's going to miss!)  For step by step instructions, check out our DIY video tutorial below!

Hi Tiffany,
I hope you're doing well. I was wondering what you created with your dad's neckties? I kept my dads ties too after he passed away earlier this year, but I've not been able to look at them or create anything with them yet.

Hi Nicola - I'm so so sorry to hear about your dad.
As a fellow design junkie, keeping some of his clothes like neckties helped me to hold on to memories.

I ended up making a pillow out of his ties for my awesome brother, who also happens to be rockstar father. You can see a picture of the tie pillow here:

Then I also made a little gadget case/ pouch like the one in this video for everyone in my family to save all of their personal mementos.

Take your time with it. And use them when you're inspired. Lots of love to you!
