make and give // diy stamped leather tie clip
Hey hey, holiday lovelies, we’re back with another installment of our Make and Give series, this time for the dudes! Mr. Lovely has recently introduced me to the wonderful world of tie clips, and I was kind of stoked to try making one. Apparently all the classy fellas wear ’em.
If you want to make one of these beauts for your man friend, you’ll need:
- a tiny bit of thick leather (I used my scraps from this project)
- craft knife
- a blank tie clip (you should be able to find them for about $1 at your craft store
- strong glue
- a letter and number punch set like this one
- a hammer
Start by cutting your leather to the size and shape of your tie clip. Next, choose a word or phrase to stamp on your leather and stamp it in using the metal punch set and a hammer. We experimented with a few choice words.
Finally, glue the leather piece onto the tie clip, ensuring that it’ll be right-side-up when the tie clip is attached to the right side of the tie.
Make it, give it, and watch your dude be stoked. Be sure to come back next week if you like this project — we’re doing an enamel version! xoxo
I really, really love this idea! Genius!
Thanks doll! It’s seriously SO easy and quick — I wanted to make bunches of ’em.
Another amazing idea. Wish my husband wore ties 🙂

Hmmmm, maybe a themed Christmas gift? A collared shirt, a tie, and a DIY tie clip? 😉
This is quite adorable!
Guys are soooo difficult to buy gifts for, but this is such a great idea!
My fave part of this post is Ryan’s wedding band in the last pic. <3
What a fun idea for a different kind of gift for your guy! Mine has never worn a tie clip before… but I really want to make one of these for him now! Seems like it’d be a good time for him to start, huh? 😉
this is amazing, chelsito! as always, i’m completely in awe of your creativity!
Very cool idea. Stylish pin and it’s DIY. Your special someone will definitely be happy.
What craft store did you find the tie clip at? I’ve been searching for a whole and haven’t found any places.

Hi, could you please indicate which craft store carries tie clips?
Thanks.
I found them in a local mom and pop craft shop, but you can get them all over the place online! Here’s one shop that carries them: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCraftyStore?section_id=7442669
Great, thanks!
-Where on earth would one find a stamp set like that? Are they metal orrr…? This is super cool and I’d love to try it!
