Step 1. Measure and Snip off

Lay out the necktie on the table and put the cellphone on top. Mark the places where you would need to cut. Now that you know the measurements, grab your fabric scissors and snip off the upper part of the necktie.

Step 2. Rip Seam Off

You can use a seam ripper or sharp scissors for this step. Just carefully remove the stitches on the back part of the necktie. Then pick the remaining stitches to keep it looking clean.

Step 3. Fold and sew

Now that the stitches have been removed, flip the fabric over to the back. Then, hand sew the pieces back together using a straight stitch.

Step 4. Turn inside out

We are now ready to flip the fabric inside out so that the printed area will show. Lay it flat on the table and iron it.

Step 5. Stick on the velcro
