Fran's Tip of the Week

« Choosing your cutting tool | Main | Re-using a pattern that fits »

Using the tips

Some ideas for using the tie ends (tips):  Treat them like prairie points - there are bag patterns available that use prairie points.  A large tip (cut 4"-5" long) can also act as a closing flap over a pocket.  You can also use them as embellishments in quilts or clothing that use recycled neckties.  Because the tie tips are much thinner than traditional prairie points, they will lie flat on/in your project.  In clothing applications, I sometimes like to secure the tip with a bead or small button.
