If you really want to be creative, save some money and have garter ties made to order.... make your own. I have to because the ones sold are too small for my legs. Here is a link to my Xmarks thread on making garter ties with a simple Inkle loom.

If you are a woodworker you can even make the loom as I did. It is a great project and I have a few pair of handmade ties for my kilts now.
