Using the labels
Don't forget the labels when taking the ties apart. I try to preserve as many as possible and reuse in many ways. For example, chain then together and use as a hem "tape" on a necktie garment. Use as a base for a button to prevent tearing the fabric. Apply as embellishment - to appear as decorative "ribbon", cover a hole or weak spot in the tie fabrics, cover raw edges of prairie point tie tips.
