There are times you need a large diaper bag, but what about those times you just need to carry a few things, like a bottle, or your camera? You don't need to lug around a big bag!

If Dad is getting new ties for Father's Day, why not take some of his old ties and turn them into a nice tote to carry your necessities? Betz White has a great tutorial on her blog for thesetwo-tie sling totes.

This is a great way to recycle those old ties that are just laying around. Take the cartoon character ties that never get worn, and turn them into fun bags. Or make different holiday ones using the holiday ties.

The thrift store is a great place to look for old ties too. They are usually inexpensive and secondhand shops often have a wide variety.

So does this mean I could make a bag even my husband won't complain about carrying around? It would be made from his ties, after all! - Trisha
