I am one of the few who is not yet on Pinterest. It’s actually not for a lack of trying. I have requested an invite a couple of times but to no avail. Hmmm. If you are listening, Pinterest, I am sort of offended! But I do hop on from time to time to look through all of the glorious inspiration. Have ya’ll seen this { I picked that up in Austin, by the way}.

I need to do this. I have ties that belong to loved ones I have lost and ties that hold special meaning to us but my hubby no longer wears . . . wouldn’t this be such a cute way to breathe new life into them. Does anyone know where the actual tutorial is for this. I tried to hunt it down but to no avail. And I had Revenge on DVR waiting for me as well. PLEASE shoot the link my way if you have seen it. I am dying to try this one out.
UPDATE: Thanks to my WONDERFUL readers for tracking down the tutorial from Shelley at Crazy Wonderful.
Have you copied any great idea from Pinterest or blog lately? Would love to hear about it.

Oh this is really cute and creative. It was a tie right? Seattle Beauty and Fashion - Girlie Blog Seattle
ReplyDeleteFound a tutorial! http://mckells-closet.blogspot.com/2011/08/ruffle-necktie-tee-tutorial.html Pinterest rocks. It seems to work better with a personal invite, instead of one straight from pinterest.
ReplyDeleteAlso, here's the one from picture you posted: http://westermanfam.blogspot.com/2011/07/upcycled-tie-necklace-tutorial.html. It's a necklace in the tutorial.
DeleteOh, Courtney, you have to read my "Dear Pinterest" post I wrote about 2 weeks ago. You'll crack up. (I just caved and joined, but had to have a friend send an invite. I can send you one...no ridiculous waiting time as it if it's for the "elite"! Ha!)
ReplyDeleteCute tie project!
Another similar example can be found at http://www.etsy.com/listing/85125051/winter-sale-maria-necklace-in-yellow but not directions. :)

I have also tried to get an invite from pinterest...several times with no success! What gives? I am dying to get on there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! Oh and regarding pinterest...I have no problem with the invite, but hate the fact that you HAVE to have facebook...which I do not have, nor do I want to have.
ReplyDeleteI can invite you directly if you'd like! It shouldn't take more than a day that way. What email address should I send it to?
ReplyDeleteGreat project. Pinterest is like crack....addicting...proceed with caution? :)
ReplyDeleteYou will looooove pinterest! I can send you an invite and you will be able to log on immediatley..just send me your email!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have plenty of offers, but I'm happy to send you an invite too! Let us know when you join and I'll follow your boards! :)
ReplyDeleteI also have an invite so let me know! Pinterest is great, it took about 2 weeks to hear back a few months ago. Not sure if the wait time is now longer b/c more people know about it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea - obsessed with Pinterest! How was your vacay??
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness the cutest idea! I love Pinterest...I'd probably spend all day on there if I didn't watch out.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I hadn't ever come across that before. That's the one beef I have with Pinterest - sometimes it can be hard to find the original source for things. Makes it really frustrating when you're trying to find a tutorial. BTW - New Revenge on tonight- I can hardly wait!!!! Oh and the y'alls - just start rolling off your tongue when you spend any amount of time in the South. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow cool would this be? I love this idea! And I have tried a blog project lately! Actually, it was inspired by one of your projects! :)

This is such an adorable idea, I've seen it on Pinterest and I'd love to try it out! Thanks for sharing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI can't believe youre not on pinterest!
ReplyDeleteCourtney, I think I must spend WAY too much time on blogs because guess what? I know where that tutorial is!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's by Shelly at Crazy Wonderful blog.....hold on.....I'll find it......
here it is!

I think I might like this better if the end didn't look so much like the bottom of the tie? I'm wondering how it might looked rounded or with a bow at the end??
ReplyDeleteHow funny! If I wasn't running behind in my blog reading today, I totally would have ran across your post (as I regularly blog stalk you) and could have told you myself :D I can't believe you're not on Pinterst yet!!! You've gotten several offers, but let me know if you're interested and I'll send you an instant invite :)
ReplyDeleteA very clever use of those ties that hold special memories for us!
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!?! I can't believe you aren't on Pinterest, you would be the Pin Queen! (c: I bet you already have your projects making the rounds on there! I *LOVE* that project, too...such a cute idea (c:

get ready to drool!
I like this shirt but I always wonder how you wash it because ties just shrivel up and die when you accidently wash them because no one picked it up off the floor so it got mixed in with the laundry :)
