Toddler Neckties

About a week before our holiday picture session I started thinking about what the boys should wear. I only booked a session because I got a good deal and I didn't want to spend much on new clothes. Their outfits turned out super duper cute and it was all done on the cheap. Both dress shirts and sweaters came from a resale store so they were bargains and I made the ties. That's right, I made them. I saw some at a local boutique store for $23 a piece and decided that it was not worth $50 to have the boys wearing ties for a half hour. I found a necktie coloring sheet online and used that to get the shape right. Then I cut a strip for the collar and finished it off with elastic in the back. I am not known for my sewing skills so if I can do it literally anyone could. There was a little trial and error with the first tie, but once I had a plan the second tie took about 10 minutes. It was actually a lot of fun.
