My girlfriend Cat and I have found a pretty sweet new use for some of the board games we pick up at thrift stores, and some of the duplicates I have in my collection. We're making bow ties, earrings, and jewelry out of them.
Other than the strap, every bow tie is made completely from a board game. I can also custom-craft a one-of-a-kind bow tie from just about any old board game you may have. They're pretty awesome.
Check it out! We'll add more stuff in the coming days.

Your tagline should be "Very expensive!"

I love the detail you've put into each tie, and surprisingly, even the back. Very well done.

These look amazing!! Very well done!

It wouldn't be a thread without Debbie Downer.

No, no...Travis' comment was spot on, given Christian's store handle.
Also, well done, Chris. Might have to consider the Scrabble one.

I love bow ties. And these are spectacular. And I'm not sure I can think of an occasion where I'd wear one. And that makes me so sad.
Can't wait to see more, 'cause when I figure it out, I'm all over your Etsy.

There's another person who makes bow ties from all sorts of things such as Legos, sheet music, comic books, dictionaries, chalkboards, and vinyl records. Questlove can be seen wearing these ties sometimes on The Tonight Show. I bring this up however, because they also make ties from Scrabble tiles. The cool thing they do is spell out whatever word you want on the tie with the tiles.
In any case, I love that Concentration tie. I don't know what other board games you have that would make great ties, but I can't wait to see.

The one I've seen so far that's my favorite, which is not currently shown there, was the Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition wheel tie. That was pretty sweet.

Oh, this one (it's actually made from the wheel and front box cover of a 1975 MB edition):

Yes, that one. It did look Deluxe but it's still pretty sweet.
