Just to wet your creative juices a little, here are a few of our Fun Facebook Fan postings so far. Are they creative or what??!!
An abundant selection can lead to an abundance of indecision, particularly when it comes to neckties. The colors, patterns and even textures can leave you wondering where to begin.
Perhaps you’ve begun culling the collection of your significant other. Or if you are very disciplined maybe you’re weeding out ties from your own collection. The question then becomes what to do with those old neckties?
At J&O Fabric Store we’ve taken it upon ourselves to provide you with some ideas of how to recycle old or unwanted neckties without throwing them away. Here are our top ten ideas for giving old ties new life.
Each week we receive tons of letters and emails from customers who have made beautiful crafts, reupholstered old furnishings, and designed unique garments all from the fabric they have purchases from our online store. From hot pink vinyl and black suede cloth to children’s novelty cotton and route 66 tapestry, it never ceases to amaze us how creative our customers really are.
Take for instance Ms. Yvonne Perry. Yvonne is a freelance writer, editor, author and owner of ‘Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services’ by day, but by night she is an artist with a unique sense of color and taste who makes wonderful home crafts for friends, family and a few more folks ready to support this Jackie-of-all-trades.
Have you ever wondered what to do with all those t shirts found in storage chests, laundry baskets, in the bottom of dresser drawers or behind your children’s beds?

If you have a garment, home accent piece or window dressing that has lost its va-voom, or is just plain ole’ outdated, the simple and inexpensive options that could bring them back to life are only a few sentences away.
Short of doing a complete re-upholstering, window treatment or spending unnecessary hard earned money purchasing something new; why not just add a little trim? For some, the idea of trimming is restricted to tassels and gimp braiding, but let’s expand that avenue a little, for trim can encompass so much more.
