I made these business/credit/gift card holders from second-hand neckties. I *love* shopping for second-hand neckties :)

I like both styles. My husband for some reason inherits all the ties in his family that no one else wants . . . this is going to help me out there, too! would like to have instructions if you have a chance. Thanks
