Here's a great way to spruce up your necktie.. turn it into a vertical garden!

What you’ll need…

Scissors
Thread, needle
Potting soil
Plastic bags
Metal hanger(s)
Felt swatches
Tie(s)
Pieces of flair (buttons, pins, brooches, cuff links, etc.)
Plants (preferably succulents, since they need little water)

The best plants to use will be plants that don’t need much water and are pretty small. Succulents and air plants can work very well.

Lay out the ties you’d like to pair together along metal hanger, and vary their lengths to give your hanging garden a undone look. You can either knot the ties around the wire hanger, or simply fold them over hanger’s bottom bar.
