The tie racks in the shops didn't look very good/functional so i whirred up the creative department and i came up with this bamboo tie rack design.
Its really pretty easy to make and even if you don't wear ties it would be a great present for dads/granddads

Tie-Dye in Ancient Asia
The earliest written records about tie-dye come from China and Japan. The process was used during the T’ang Dynasty in China and the Nara Period in Japan as far back as the 6th century. People used natural dyes from berries, leaves, roots and flowers to color clothing. These natural items were boiled, and the fabrics then soaked in the hot, dyed water to take on a new color.

Small wooden tie rack constructed by Michel Nathans while he lived in hiding in the home of Aaltje and Paul Paulus in Ermelo, Netherlands, from October 1942-April 1945. The tie racks he made were then sold by Paul. In 1942, after nearly two years of occupation by the Germans, deportations were becoming frequent. Michel and Saartje decided to send their two year old daughter, Anita, to live with a non-Jewish family in the countryside. That October, they left Amsterdam and were offered a hiding place with the Paulus family. They lived all day in a small attic bedroom; Paul built a hidden compartment in the room when the Germans intensified their searches for hidden Jews. Paul built three other hiding spaces: a dugout under the kitchen floor, and two deep holes outside in the nearby woods. Paul played a leadership role in the resistance in the area and the hiding spaces were used often. On April 18, 1945, Ermelo was liberated by British, Irish, and Canadian forces. Saartje and Michel reunited with Anita and returned to Amsterdam.
