Step 5 . Peel the tie off the foam quickly , starting at one end – most of the foam should stay on the binbag .
Step 6 . Put your tie face up on the bin bag and scrape off the excess shaving foam with the credit card . Then repeat the process for the back of the tie .
Leave your tie to dry naturally .
Iron your silk ( as per instructions on the bottle ) to fix the paint into the silk , then gently hand wash to remove any shaving foam residue . Iron while damp to ensure a nice smooth finish . Your item can also be dry-cleaned .
Why not do a matching handkerchief , or a piece of fabric to cover a notebook ?
