My sewing chair has a "seat rug" (about 15"-16" square) that my sister wove for me from whole neckties.  You could make one yourself with a pin-weaving set-up.  Set up strong warp threads (like heavy string) about 1/2" apart and 6"-8" longer than your desired finished length.  Begin weaving whole ties through with a 3"-4" gap at the beginning and end, leaving the ends to dangle out the sides.  Cut the loops and knot the string ends into a fringe.
