Upcycle men's neck ties to beautiful brooches
We wanted to keep the memory of our grandfathers with something tangible so we used their neck ties to create beautiful rose like brooches which we wear with love! Rose pins can also be a thoughtful gift for the girls in your family or your best friends! If you don't wear brooches you can glue your rose to an alice band or sew it onto a hair clip or a rubber band.
