Tshirt Crafts!

I'm really startin to become obsessed with Tshirt crafts! I think it's really awesome to go to Goodwill, buy a 99 cent Tshirt and repurpose it into something cool and unique. It's fun, it's creative and it's recyling!!!!

I was researching some handmade Christmas gifts and I came across the idea for braided Tshirt bracelets..... I had to try.

Here's the how to post. - It's a bit of a winding road, but I did, in fact, find this through Pinterest (typical!).

This is one of those posts where the tutorial that I used is so awesome, that I didn't dare duplicate it! - It also means that I had to concentrate to follow it so I didn't take progress pictures! :-)

Here are my bracelets:

After I was done with the bracelets, there was a lot of tshirt left, so I thought I'd just goof around and see what I can do with it. Here's what the rest of the tshirt looked like....

I thought the neckline was really cute and if I just cut it out right, it might make a cute little necklace. I ended up using the top half of the aplique and then used the back of the shirt as to tie the "necklace."
Also, I cut the rest of the bottom (up to the armpits) in about 1" strips (they were like big circles) and then stretched them out, and doubled them up for a little layered strand look. I used the rest of the flower aplique to add a little punch.

Here's what I ended up with at the end of the night....

I think the neckline piece, would look really cute over a turtle neck. I'll take a picture whenever I wear it!

Here's a close up of the strand necklace:



Can you see my polka dot slippers in the bottom corner :) Yes, this is how I spend my Friday nights!

Here's another pic of the 3 bracelets:

I made one for me, one for my sissy and the last for my friend Laura.

I even have enough purple tshirt left to make a couple of flower pins! Then I can actually blog those for you all!

Any tshirt crafts you'd like me to try?

Let me know!!
