Welcome to the "All Things Altered" Blog Hop, hosted by Pam Bray. 13 Designers are participating and adding their unique flair. For my project I altered an old necktie purchased in the local Goodwill store (where I also discovered this clock shaped like a vintage pocket watch - had to have that!) The vintage masculine papers in the
Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman Collection were perfect for what I had in mind. I first tore assorted sheets from the collections into random sized pieces, then adhered them collage style using
Plaid Fabric Mod Podge to the front of the tie. The back was given a single coat of Plaid's Martha Stewart Crafts
Copper Metallic Multi-Surface Craft Paint using haphazard strokes to add texture and sheen, yet the darker base color of the fabric still resonates through the paint.
When paired with a vintage cufflink & tie bar set, a gentleman who accents his outfit with this vintage style altered tie is sure to feel dapper.
Be sure to hop through the 12 other participating designer's links and see what they have shared. You are sure to find some inspiration to do a bit of creative altering yourself!

A tie! Cindi- your mind never stops girl :-) Love this- it's classic. Old ties are fun but I never would have thought of painting one.
Great idea and beautiful execution of the project!

I am floored! The tie is incredible, but the fact that it can still be worn blows my mind. I am your newest fan. Thanks for sharing!
