All Tied Up With Christmas

My father-in-law buys a lot of ties. No, not 'just because', but because in his line of occupation a tie is a must most of the time. (Don't you ever think a preacher looks completely different in jeans since you see them dressed up so much?!) Back to my father-in-law. He rarely pays above $10 for a NICE tie because he always buys clearance.
Getting him a Christmas present is torture - guys are so hard to buy for. Since he loves to shop at JCPenney, we got him a gift card so he can add to his tie collection and not get bored with wearing the same ones over and over.
So...I'll let you take a look at his gift. Remember I told you to come back to see what else could be used with my curtain panel? Take a look.....
I taped it ALL down so when he opens up his gift, it will still look okay...
Such fun!!! It'll get the point across, don't ya think?

BTW - I really liked your table runners from the last post too, but couldn't find a place to comment on them! I love the idea of them running across the table like that, and making them from curtains -- great idea!
I actually bought some valances the other day just because I loved the material -- I did end up using them as curtains, but in the back of my mind I had already decided to cut them up and make something fun with them if they didn't work!
