Necktie Daisies

After making necktie skirts from the wide end of the tie and necktie handbags from the thin center of the tie, I'm left with the tips of the ties. What to do? What to do? Hmmmmm..... They sort of reminded me of flower petals so I cut them off at about 2.5 inches, gathered up six of them and placed them around a covered button. I covered the back of the daisy with a circle of black velveteen and added a pinback. Now these can be worn on a lapel, a hat, or a bag - YAY! These are available under my "Necktie Couture" line at Passage in Phoenix and at The Lilypad in Scottsdale.
