Creative Christmas gift under $5 for the male in your life

tiechristmas copy

It always seems so difficult to come up with beading projects/designs for men unless they are into jewelry (which many men seem to not be)  I thought that this project sounds fun and personalizes something that many men have to wear everyday anyway—ties.  I think that personalizing a printed tie with seed beads (which are usually around 99 cents!) makes the  project fun, simple, and unique.  The print can be anything your heart desires and whatever your level of experience with sewing seed beads.  I would do a circle print or a diamond design like I am using….just something you know how to add the seed beads.  And it doesn’t need to be the entire tie seed bead-ed.  It can also be a sporadic application wherever you think it looks good.  Or, it could be a basic tie with one color and seed bead a design of the first letter of the person’s name.  Find the tie at the thrift store (usually costs around a dollar or less), or use one that your father, brother, husband may not have worn in a while (which is free:).

Plus, here are some more ideas for beaded gift designs for men from About.com.
