My latest project first entailed gathering my husbands old ties that he still has from the 7th grade! Next I bought a frame from Target for $25 that is meant to double as storage for artwork, so the side width was bigger than normal. Next I cut the ties lengthwise after laying them down in the pattern I wanted. I glued the top one first, totally flat against the cardboard backing. The rest of the ties, working my way down, I glued along the side and bottom of each tie, forming a pocket. I hung it by the door, and now we have a preppy mail holder to help us get organized in the New Year!
