Wearing neckties can be fun and trendy! Creating your own neckties can be super easy. I used Burda pattern 7876 to create this necktie for an upcoming look. Check out my step-by step tutorial and create your own.
*You may need a Necktie pattern for this project. I used Burda pattern 7876 which only consist of two pieces.

You can loop the tie around a satin ribbon or wear it as you would any other fashionable necktie.
