In this Instructable I will show you how I converted my old regular school tie into a cool fashionable 'skinny tie', and I will also show you other customizations I made to my old school uniform.
The majority of schools across Britain require that you wear a tie as part of your uniform. It is the governments idea that if everyone in school dressed the same looking like robots, then bulling wouldn't occur because poorer children won't be picked on for looking different. This is of course a load of rubbish, so why not make a statement and customize your uniform.
Skinny ties are very popular at the moment and are fairly easy to make providing you have some idea of how to sew or stitch.

You will need most of the following;
-a tie
-a de-stitching tool (if you dont have one just use a needle or something)
-a pair of scissors
-a pen
-a needle and some thread or a sewing machine (I didn't use a sewing machine but if you want your tie to last a while I would strongly recommend that you use one)
-an iron and ironing board (not neccessery but still useful)
-pins (not neccessery but still useful)

There's a really good explanation about it. You can be frisked for an officer's safety if you've been detained, and searched if they have enough evidence to arrest you. If it turns out they searched you without probable cause, anything they find during that illegal search can't be used against you in court. It's pretty neat, really.
The point I was trying to get across, though, is that the police can't just stop whoever they want and search them.
(Of course, the easiest way to make a skinny tie is to wear a normal tie back to front, and tuck the fat end into your shirt.)
