Display Your Tie Collection In Style
If you take pride in your tie collection, need of a tie rack to display your ties instead of hiding them away in the closet.
My favorite tie rack for displaying a tie collection is actually more like a shelf. Not only would be it be really easy to make on a Saturday afternoon, they are available for purchase as well.
I really like the style of the tie rack because it also works well as wall decor. Even if you’ve never worn a tie in your life, this is a great way to decorate wall space!
For those interested, here is a link to a how-to video on making this type of tie display rack. For those really creative guys out there, here are a few great ideas that would be fun to play around with.
This necktie display rack is constructed of legos! Not only are legos a common pastime for most kids, this look actually has a sleek, industrial feel about it.
Now, if you aren’t as creative as lego guy, but are handy with building this type of tie rack is really easy to make. Another popular way of using this rack is to build it the size of your dresser drawer or part of it. Then you lay it down in the drawer and you store the ties the same way – rolled up in the cubbyhole. This option isn’t so much for display but is a great way to organize your ties!
Rolling your ties is not only a very attractive way to display them, but also the best for them besides hanging. If you fold your ties up for display, you’ll have wrinkles and creases that may be hard to remove. By rolling your ties, you won’t have to worry about wrinkles and all your ties will be ready to wear.
I am looking for the little ball end nails to make a tie rack. Does anyone know where I can purchase these?
Hey John,
I did a google search for ball ended screws and found a few links you might be interested in. Try this one out: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSDZ1&P=FR
You mention that tie “shelf” being available for purchase. Can you tell me where - amazingly you are the only place on the internet that I can even find a picture of this - I’ve been looking for ages to purchase one. Thanks!
Sorry Jason, I should have been more clear. The picture is of a rack my uncle built for my cousin. He used this video to get the building ideas down, though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le8Dcvjichk
Have you checked with any department stores? Sometimes when they’re swapping out display cases for ties and other accessories, they’ll give them away to the public if they don’t need them anymore! Good luck.
I managed to put together a shelf of my own
