DIY: Repurposed Necktie for Baby

I was out shopping last week trying to find something for my Ashyr-pie to wear for Easter--you know for one of those sweet little boy outfits with a dress shirt, vest, and necktie.  But then I was like shoot, what am I doing? He already has a white sweater vest, several dress shirts that fit, and some khakis. Why bother spending money on a new outfit he will wear once and get blueberry applesauce all over anyway?  So I hit up a thrift store and snagged this mens necktie for a buck and decided I would make him a little tie instead. 

Directions:

1. I cut a V-shape into the tie, just before it started to flare out towards the other end.

2. Then I cut out some of the middle layer to make it easier to sew it back up.

3. Just used a simple blanket stitch here.

4. Now tie it and that's it!

Super easy, cheap, and exactly the colors I was looking for.  I cannot wait until next Sunday to see him wearing it! He's gonna look so handsome. :)  (That is if he will cooperate by letting me put it on him and actually keep it on during church).
